So as a marketing major, I'm taking the marketing management class this semester, and as the semester I've noticed that it's shifted my whole world view. It might be the knowledge I've gained, or it might be because I know that this is what I plan to make my career in, but I just see myself understanding the one mysterious conept of marketing. I had this epiphany in history class this morning when the professor, Dr. McCarthy was discussing Washington's inaugural address. He was explaining how Washington's address had to be changed to suit the people that were going to be present at the address: mostly aristocratic Virginians. All of a sudden, I found that my mind connected what to his "target market" must be and how he must have changed it. I was so intrigued by this connection that I completely spaced out and started to think about marketing and Washington's inagural address. I really think that its remarkable to see education in action that way.

Speaking of Marketing, next tuesday I have a meeting with my advisor to discuss classes for next semester. They're having a pizza party with all the advisors there and I'm hoping it will be a productive use of time. I've been thinking about what I'd like to take and I decided on a marketing class, consumer behavior, and a psychology class, both of which are required for my major. Then I'm staying in the same civ, and my final class is in Roman History. I'm really excited about all my classes this time and I'm sure it's going to be an interesting semester!
