Welcome to my
site! My name is Erik Meijer and I am a junior at the University of Connecticut.
My major is currently business management and I have a 3.5 GPA, and I am
a New England Scholar.
This site has been created as a requirement of my Business Information Systems
class, check out
the link to Opim203C located above. I live in Granby Connecticut and commute
to Uconn everyday,
and yes, thats about an hour each way. I graduated from Granby Memorial
High School in 2001,
and spent my first 2 years of college commuting to the West Hartford Uconn
campus, appropriatly
refered to as "Husky High", because it wasnt much better than high school.
I am much happier
taking classes at Storrs because the business building is awsome, I really
like the classrooms.
I finally feel as though I am in college. As you will see from this web
site I really enjoy such things
as fishing, and going fishing with our boat the "Cat Can Do". You can see
pics of this boat in the
photo gallery section of this site. The photo above is me after catching
a striped bass in the Connecticut
River in April of 2002. During this time of the year the striped bass migrate
up the river from the ocean
to breed, making it possible to catch them in the river. Striped bass can
do this because they have the
ability to change there habitat from salt water to fresh water, and then
back to salt water when they
return to the ocean. I caught this fish in Windsor Locks! Which is quite
far up the river, you can catch
even further north of the Holyoke Damn, but only from like late March to
early May. In the summer I
love to go to the beach, I would live there during the summer if I had the
money. I go surf fishing alot,
me and my dad go fishing on our boat alot, and I have a Rhode Island beach
permit on my truck, which
allows me to take my truck over the sand roads along the Rhode Islad coast
line. After Labor Day I can
take my truck on any Rhode Island state beach that I want. Four wheeling
over sand is a blast. Well,
with the jibber jabber, make sure to check out the rest of my site! I hope
you enjoy it! If you have an
AOL Screen name and want to say hi or chat, my SN is quadcab175. Say hi sometime!
