If you like, there is another rule you can use:
$log_a(b^n) = n \cdot log_a(b)$

So
$log_3(3^3) = 3 \cdot log_3(3) = 3 \cdot 1 = 3$

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - The Litany Against Fear, "Dune" by Frank Herbert
