Marketer's dream

GAAH.  Second (and thankfully last) exam today at 12pm. 

Have been revising my head off, in between eating consoling chocolates and buying benefit make up as a "reward" for work I haven't yet done.  What?!

I am now waiting not so patiently for my purchases to arrive which will give me flawless glowing skin.......yes I believe the gimmicks. 

Being a marketing student this makes me even more of a sucker because I know exactly what tricks they are using to get us to BUY! BUY! BUY! and I fall for it hook, line and sinker all the time.  And I love it!!

To quote from some cosmetics company or other that I have come across in my revision, "In the factory we make cosmetics.  In the drugstore we sell hope."  Too true!


I am waiting for Benefit Benetint - a liquid blusher which is "the sexiest flush you can get from a bottle" har har insert slutty remark here...and Dr Feel Good  - "A creamy complexion enhancer" or something like that bla bla. 

I am probably a marketers dream.  Hopefully this will help me today and my battering of my bank balance will not have been in vain all these years!

Anyway, should be going back over my notes.................

Thank you Jebus

Revision. @|'fgg\|+mhgf"@kk!!!!!!

Brand new unworn Ugg boots on advert mail for £50.  Waaaaahh!!! 
Perhaps a reward from Jebus for starting revision??

Spent all morning in work revising for my Marketing exam which is on Tuesday.  So far I have revised about a quarter of what i need to know...for this subject.  If the correct questions come up....we answer 3 questions out of 6.

Lecturer 1 said "Just revise 3 topics out of the 6 really well and write down a model answer to remember and then just adapt it to fit the question."

Lecturer 2 said "Only revising 3 is the worst mistake you could make.  You are asking to fail"

Oh.

Well as it happens I agree with lecturer 2, cos if I only revise 3 and cannot answer one of the questions I will be stuck cos will not have revised anything else.  So now I have do revise everything for all 6.  GOD.

Also have accounting to revise this weekend. 100%.  Not good.  Dividend Policy anyone??  Soft and Hard Rationing??  Calculating the Internal Rate of Return?? This is how I will be spending my precious and treasured weekend.

But not as much to learn for Accounting as for Marketing due to half of the question being a calculation, which I think I know how to do.  Better practice a couple of times though.  Cannot wait for them to be over...

Now for the reward....

I nearly spent £200 on a pair of Ugg boots before Christmas, but am glad I didn't now as before lunch had an email from advert mail saying one of the lecturers is selling a pair of Uggs, unworn, £50!!  Total bargain.  I just had to. 
My current comfy boolts that I wear have no grip so even walking in the rain I am sliding everywhere.
As I may have mentioned, I do not need any extra help in falling over!!
