iReport

iReport is a pretty unique website, its not that easy of a website to navigate around at first. I really like the whole concept behind it, having the people do the reports and what not, easy way to cover more with less employees. What I dislike the most is defiantly the layout of the site, it gets confusing real quick.

Hornets Nest Soundslide

On a small campus like Lyndon’s, there are limited options for food. The dining hall serves three meals a day, but the food is generally agreed to be of a lesser quality. The Hornet’s Nest, the snack bar here on campus is in the student center on the second floor of Vail. Students pay for their food by using declining balance flex points. These foods tend to be a little better because of the fact that its cooked a little more thoroughly, more so cooked more individualized, versus trying to cook multiple rotisserie chickens, things like that, to serve the hundreds of students that swarm into the Dining hall at once. There are also things like protein bars, candy bars, bags of chips, and even a couple cereal boxes. The Hornets nest doesn’t just serve as a food place though. It has a newly renovated lounge which allows students to use as a place to study, a place to meet other students, and a place to just hang out with the friends they already have. It is a far more mellowed out environment then Steven Dining Hall which is most of the time during meal times, is too chaotic to even hear your own thoughts. The newly renovated Hornet’s Nest has more of a coffee shop kind of place. High tables with high chairs, tables small and round, and a small stage, it’s a generally relaxed feeling place. Before the renovations, the Hornet’s Nest had a very groggy feeling. It had old bench seats, used and abused furniture that looked to be scraped together from renovation around the school. Granted all the activities that occur in the Hornets Nest still occurred before the renovations, it now has a better set up for it, and also a more suitable environment. Lyndon puts on events that also go along with the coffee shop feel like stated before. There are concerts with the local bands, battle of the bands, and events of that nature. The bands that play at these events tend to be quiet, mellow, and relaxed bands, which goes along perfectly with the “coffee shop” concept.
