The Not-So-Merry Marketer

Hello, faithful readers! Our group of intrepid road trippers pulled into Blacksburg yesterday evening after waking up in Hershey, PA ten hours earlier. The trip deserves a large write-up, and I promise to deliver just that to you. Tonight, however, I've had to play catch-up with my online class for the second half of the summer: Marketing 3104. While this one will certainly seem shorter then the economics course I took through June, and there are half as many tests, it hasn't captured my interest half as much as Econ. And I didn't even really like Econ that much to start with. The book is well-written, at least, so I'm learning little interesting tidbits about what goes on behind the scenes of marketing with some companies I've actually heard of, so that's a plus. The authors do a good job of keeping the text current and relevant. There are, however, just some long chapters in this book, and the sections sometimes seem to describe nothing at all in a third of a page. Not an easy feat - though I do it all the time.

So anyway, I'll be writing up the Hershey rundown for your enjoyment. Sooner rather than later, with some pictures thrown in. For now, I'm going to catch up on some more reading (bleh) and sleep (yay).

Hey, anybody know any good blog communities I could read/join?
