Spring Semester Frenzy

Is everyone as busy as I am this semester?

I have to say I have double helpings on my plate this Spring. Working full time, full class load here at ACC, Student Ambassador events, and serving as Phi Thetta Kappa Vice President. It can be very difficult to juggle all of our responsibilities without becoming completely stressed and burnt out. Thank goodness Spring Break is just around the corner!

Sometimes I have to force myself to slow down and take a breather. If I don't take a moment or two to relax and recharge I have a hard time keeping my eye on the prize. Here are some suggestions you could try that work for me: read a book for pleasure (that's not school related), get a massage, "retail therapy", visit with friends (that I don't see very often due to busy schedule), or take a walk.

I can't believe it is already the end of February and graduation is in a couple of months. I am super excited that I will finally finish my goal! I will be graduating with an Associates Degree in Office Administration. The Office Administration program offers instruction in many skills that most of need everyday whether we plan to go into that career flield or not. The computer applications and word processing classes are valuable to anyone.
If any of you are scheduled to graduate in May the caps and gowns should arrive in the school store in approximately two weeks.

I had a great time with Liz and my fellow ambassador Karen at the Manvel High School Shutdown last week. We were able to provide students with information about ACC and encourage them to go to college. Blue made an appearance and was quite awesome. Being an ambassador has really helped me to get more involved in ACC be aware of resources I didn't know aobut before. I am having tons of fun and have the pleasure of so many new friends.

Just a reminder ACC Open House is next week on March 10th from 4-7 pm. There will be plenty of fun and games for everyone so mark your calenders.

Hope to see all of you at Open House and have a splinded week!
