Herbarium is a cool guy. eh mounts plants and doesn't afraid of grasses.

So, we have a job in the herbarium, mounting plants this semester. Should be fun, and we get paid.

The process includes gluing pressed plant specimens onto archival stock paper, with lables. Some of the oldest specimen cards in the place are 200 years of age, so these things last if you do it right.

Did we mention the getting paid part?

This and agristology, the study of grasses, should make part of this balanced and complete semester. Or interesting, we mean.
