Welcome to my sugary new blog!
My name is Sara, and I just started my first year of business school at UCLA. In two years I will (hopefully) graduate with two MBAs: a Masters in Business Administration and a Masters in Baking A-lot. The second one is a made-up degree, so please excuse the incorrect grammar and the fact that "a-lot" is neither a word nor an appropriate use of a hyphen. (I used to work in communications, so while this glaring error does send a shiver down my spine, I am also ever so pleased with my clever new acronym, so you're going to have to roll with me.)
Here's my plan: my goal is to bake something (anything!) and blog about it at least once a week. I may throw in some anecdotes from life/school, but only if they're funny (to me). And I'll try to include pictures. I don't have a great camera like a lot of the awesome food bloggers out there, but I do have a trusty little "point and shoot" that served me well through four years of college and four years of working. That's just a long way of saying that I'm on a student budget and can't buy a new camera. I also have a rather terrible phone camera, which may or may not be making cameo appearances here at The Opportunity Cost of Baking.
So, what's with the title, right? I call this blog The Opportunity Cost of Baking for two reasons. Firstly, I want you to be aware that I will, with 99.7% confidence, be making nerdy economics/statistics/academics jokes. It's just part of who I am. Secondly, at some point over the course of the next two years, you may ask yourself, "Does Sara ever study? It seems like all she does is bake and eat cookies." You will be correct in this observation. Life (and economics) is all about trade-offs, and for me, the opportunity cost of incessant baking will be foregone studies. It's a classic economic example, really -- right up there with widget factories and the Nash equilibrium.
