The post death, or was it really????

So its me, Tarisai again... So you know how my last blog was about how the dreaded cake sale is now over and I was all smiles. Well guess what, the life of an Entrepreneur is never all smiles, and just as I thought I was past death, I realized death had only just hit me. So the day after cake sale 2 I had a big Marketing Test that I had stayed up the night before reading for and had been prepping for the week before. So I thought I had nipped this one in the bud. Yea lets just say that wasn't the case.

The day started off well as days normally do for me, I woke up early, started school at 9am with a marketing tut, and proceeded with the day. I had class the whole morning but would peak at my notes in between just to reassure myself that i knew what I would write come the test at 5pm. I even found myself teaching a few of my mates the theories I knew about the 'Situational Analysis', 'Marketing Mix' and 'Market Segmentation'. All was going well till around 3pm when slowly found myself starting to crash. I wrote what I had studied and really hope I answered the question and passed the paper, because yea, by the time I wrote the 2 hour paper I was now exhausted from all the work that was done the night before, but however managed to solider through.

The post post death however wasn't over yet as I still had another test to go a day after my Marketing test. Come this test I worked just as hard as I always try to do. It's always a little hard to know how you did in a test after writing it and knowing if you answered the question correctly. I try my best not to think about tests or talk about them till after the results, so fingers crossed I managed to pass both of them.

What did i learn??? I learnt that trying to be an Entrepreneur and student at the same time isn't as easy as i thought it would be. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and self discipline to excel in both areas. I am still learning how to balance the two, and hopefully by the end of this year I will have some good news for you in that area and on how I did in the course!!!! But as for now.. the post post death of the cake sale continues..
