What the Steff: Forget About It

First post of the year and it wasn't even by me. I say that calls for some sort of celebration. But really, i'm punishing myself by actually making an effort to blog something. Okay okay, you caught me. I have an assignment due soon and what better way for me to procrastinate than to blog? But you have to give me credit though, all year without procrastinating via blogging! :D Fine, half a year. Psshhtt, semantics.

There's not much to say about this year except that I lucked out and only have two final exams this year. Also that Amanda and I have been seeing each other every week without fail. It's always good times with her. I'm down to three more assignments and one presentation for this semester.

I've been baking quite a bit this year. Every week, in fact. I am a complete baking noob but with the help of google, i have achieved success! I did have a fail on egg tarts, but eventually i revisited it and got it right. *fist pump*

So in QUT, I took this unit call Marketing Planning and Management and basically what we have to do is to come up with a business idea and make it happen at two Market Days, either by sponsorships or investing our own money in it, though the latter is not encouraged. My group's name is Funhouse and basically what we do is we provide entertainment, prizes, products etc. What we had was a Chocolate Wheel where customers pay fake QUTopian money to spin it and get sponsored chocolates from Darrell Lea (chocolate eggs and rocky road chocolate bars). Another game we had was Blackjack Darts, where customers would pay for darts to try and get Blackjack by hitting cards that add up to 21. If they got anything under 21, they could pick between some small prizes/chocolates but if they got 21, they'd get a major prize like wine, tumblers, Ella Bache products. We all worked really hard on it and i was really lucky to get a good group of people who really put a lot of effort into the assignments. I just got word today that we earned $5190 QUTopian dollars, that is. We made a profit of $2440 and achieved our 3 market objectives, which were selling at least 50% of our show bags available, achieving a minimum of 75% of customers giving us a score of above average on our surveys and increasing sales by 15% on the second Market Day. :3 It's been hard work but worth it!

Okay, enough uni talk.
