Chupa Chups

I have three (yes 3!) classes left on my course at Uni. I can't believe how time just flew by. With the extra week I took off from Uni for our trip to Amsterdam and Switzerland and work at the cupcakery (which I still LOVE!) I am now finding myself pretty busy with schoolwork and not much time for my weekly Starbucks chats with my beloved friends. I miss you Kat and Becca!

However, I thought I would give a shout out and tell you what I'm doing at school. If you care. Which you probably don't. So I don't blame you for just skipping this one. But my project has been quite fun this term. If you know me you will know I love candy. I'm a candy fiend. It's a problem. I'm trying to work on it (I say 'try' loosely here). So, when the opportunity came up in my New Product Development class to create a new product for Chupa Chups I jumped on that wagon like nobody's businesses. I thought, 'how hard could this be?' Well, turns out it was hard. All of my ideas were already announced by the company the first of this year. Who would have thought? But, despite that little hurdle I think I've overcome and triumphed in the challenge. But I'll have to see when I present my product to the class on Wednesday. Which brings me to another point. Public speaking. I'm afraid of it. But really, who isn't? I used to be quite good at it and never got nervous but within the past year or two I've become dreadfully afraid. My vocab turns to mush and I sound like I never passed the second grade. So, while I would love to enjoy the hot sun (while it lasts) and meet up with my girls I will have to work on my presentation and reports for the next few weeks. Random postings of our past trip will sporadically show up now and then which will be nice to have up so it stops looming over my head. I never would have thought blogging would be so time consuming.

Wish me luck!
