About the Author
Hello! My name is Veronica Steinmetz and I am a freshman at
the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse. I am originally from a
small city in southeastern Wisconsin called Hartford. I made
this webpage as an assignment for my Spring 2012 Organismal
Biology class. Although it has been a lot, and by that I mean a
seemingly never ending pile of work that has caused me to become
very familiar with my dorm's computer lab and the frightening
noises it sometimes makes, it has been worth the effort.
Throughout the whole process, I learned more about the peanut
that I ever thought I would, successfully stumbled my way
through learning how to create a webpage, and (often in the
computer lab) met some people from my dorm and even my cube that
I had never met before.
The reason I chose to do my webpage on peanuts is quite simple: I
really like peanuts. In fact, one of my favorite things to have with
breakfast is a piece of toast with peanut butter and honey on it.
Peanuts have always been a favorite ice cream topping of mine, and
peanut butter cookies are my second favorite type of cookie
(narrowly losing the first place spot to Snickerdoodle cookies).
Also, there is this great peanut butter frosting that you can make
to put on cake or something. If you want to try it out, you can find
it on the page that talks about the various uses
for peanuts. If you don't want to go through all this trouble
preparing your peanuts for consumption, then go ahead and just eat
them as a snack. That's what I do sometimes. Shells and all. It's
delicious.
Now what are my interests, you ask? Well, I'm kind of a
contradiction. It's interesting. I love animals (especially my dog,
Buddy) and have always, and I mean always, wanted to be a
veterinarian. I am currently a
Biology major, biomedical science
concentration, on the pre-vet course track. However, next semester,
I will be taking some communications classes in preparation to
change my major to Broadcast and Digital Media. But I still
want to be a vet, so I'm keeping the pre-vet track. Yeah... trust me
on this. And also, to add to my seemingly random interests, I am
also a musician. I play the violin in the orchestra, French horn in
the symphonic band, marching cymbals in the marching band, and I
thoroughly enjoy playing in all of them. I'm just a bundle of
interests.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. If you need to contact me for some reason (questions, comments, etc.), I can be reached by email at steinmet.vero@uwlax.edu. If you feel like looking at some other web pages created by some of my classmates, then you can go to Multiple Organisms, the home page of all the organismal bio and animal bio websites. I recommend it. There are some pretty cool pages there.
Go back and see some web pages about other organisms.
