The Thirst Games

I think finals feels a lot like running  for your life. You are freaking out, they are always encroaching, and you have to stay on your toes to make it out. Then when you finally get away you can't believe you're still alive.

But... I'M DONE WITH FINALS! And I will only have 2 more finals to take in the spring until I'm DONE FOREVER!!!

It was actually a very un-stressful finals week. I got 3 of my 6 finals finished on the first day of finals (and I got a 98 on my first final!). Then I just had a couple team presentations and one more in class test and I was done!

One of my projects was to do a creative project using the models we've learned in our strategy class. After a lot of thought, we decided to make a movie parody of the Hunger Games to show our competitive advantage models. Don't worry, we didn't actually kill each other, we used water guns and balloons and called it the "Thirst Games". It was a blast!

It took about 4-5 hours to film, and at least 10 hours to cut together, and then another 4 hours to add music and any necessary captions. It turned out really great! I even got to cut together an epic fight scene.

If you haven't seen the Hunger Games, this video might not totally make sense. And also, we had to showcase the business models, so that's why in our videos we talk about the VRIO model (Valuable, Rare, Imitable, Exploited by Organization) and the value innovation curve shows differences in resources.

But, we think it's hilarious. You should watch it: my (hopefully) last big final project! (However, it takes a while to load... so go get yourself some ice cream or popcorn)

And I have my commencement tomorrow, and then convocation on Friday! I can't wait to graduate! Well, I'll "graduate", then hand back my diploma and go back for another six weeks.

But it's only 2 classes, and I'm TAing for Marketing 241 again. I'm excited for spring term, I'm not quite ready to leave Provo yet.
