Decisions…	What areas of my life they affected…	Information gathered…
Olympic College rather than Peninsula	Social and academic.	Distance to nearest campus, classes offered there.  Most of my friends are going to Peninsula.
To wear just one shirt to school.	Physical comfort.	Temperature outside and probable temperature in school.
Fish in my lunch.	Physical health.	The amount of protein already in my diet.
To take Chem 121	Academic.	It is a prerequisite for higher level chemistry classes.
To arrange my college schedule around my Puget Sound Voyaging class.	Physical and mental health.  Social life.	The impact of the P.S.V. class on my life and the time it occupies.
What color socks to wear.	My mental self-image.	The other colors I wear.
Shower early or later in the evening.	Physical health, ease towards sleep.	The amount of homework left that evening.

   This chart tells me that I consider my physical well-being a priority.  Also that I put my academic life over my social life.  Not to mention the consideration of my mental self-image as related to my socks.  It shows that I am interested in getting a good, science rich, education and that I thrive in the marine environment.

http://www.pygmyboats.com/boats/arctic-tern-kayak-kit.html (site)

    The pygmy kayak site is more useful than the review because it offers more details.  That is to be expected, however, it is also better because it has a more professional tone and elegant, smooth, wording.  In order to make the review more effective I word up the word quality so it sounds more considered and less like a casual conversational comment.  I would also increase the emotion because it really sounds as if the author doesn’t care that much about the topic.  Besides that they are both well suited for their particular sites, I suspect, though the review does not hold my attention the same way the site information does.
