Classes

The last few weeks have been pretty busy! I went to a Taylor Swift concert, which I was very excited for because she is my favorite! It was so much fun. Then this last weekend, I went to Dublin with two of my friends. Dublin is a very nice city - very clean and the people are extremely friendly. We also went on a tour of a castle and a fishing town on the coast, so it was nice to see more than just the city.

My classes are going very well. I was prepared for all my midterms, and I think all my midterm grades were "A"s! I am very happy with that because I study quite a bit and I never miss classes. We only have about a month left of classes, so the workload is starting to pick up. I am taking 5 classes for 18 credits (more than normal), so I have a lot of final projects and papers. My marketing teacher assigned us a final project that counts for 25% of our overall grade. Each group of four has to create a product/service and apply all the concepts we have learned this semester to our new product. We have to describe the product, explain the target market, create the marketing mix, etc. We have to present our product to the class and also turn in a paper (no more than 20 pages) to our professor. My group has decided on creating a cruise targeted at American high school seniors. The cruise would be all-inclusive and travel to five cities in Europe. It should be a fun project to work on, but it will demand a lot of time.
