I hope everyone is having a great semester. This semester has just flown by and graduation is coming up on May 10, 2011. Remember starting tomorrow you can pick up your graduation tickets. Due to the lack of space in the gym, ACC will have the lunch room open and the ceremony will be shown on the "BlueTube". This year ACC has a second option that is pretty cool, they have opened the ACC Theatre for seating and will show the entire ceremony on a big screen. I know I am excited, because I am one of the graduates crossing the stage! I have also had the honor of being President of Phi Theta Kappa, which is the Honor Society for two year colleges. If you are a member of Phi Theta Kappa, make sure you stop by the ACC bookstore and purchase your PTK stole and tassle, to be worn during the graduation ceremony.
Several of our ambassadors are graduating, which means Cammy and Liz will be needing to replace them. There will be an "Ambassador Session" on April 21, from 12:00 until 2:00 in the Texas Room. Kristy and myself will be there to conduct the session and answer any questions you might have about the Ambassador Program. You will be able to fill out an application, as well as have your initial interview on the spot. Being an Ambassador is a great honor, since you are the "Face of ACC", and don't forget about the $500 scholarship that goes along with that.
I have enjoyed being an ambassador for the last two semesters, and if it weren't for me graduating, I would do it again next semester. I have enjoyed every minute of my two years here at ACC and I will continue to take some courses that will enhance my degree. Enjoy this beautiful weather, and I look forward to seeing you around campus.

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!

ANOTHER ARTIC BLAST!!
Are yall ready for more cold weather? Well get ready it is here and getting colder by the hour!
I hope everyone is liking their classes and doing well in them. I have clinicals on the L&D floor of the hospital for LVN nursing and I love it. I love holding those little babies and I swear my kids were half grown when I had them! It is hard to believe that my kids used to be "around that size."
If anyone ever gets a chance to attend the Back to School Blitz I really encourage it. It is very rewarding going our into the community and talking to teenagers and encouraging them to return to school to graduate. You are able to give them information that they didn't know exsisted. Very rewarding!
Our open house is coming up March 10, 2011 if you are able to attend I encourage you to do so. There are a lot of opportunities to find out what programs are offered here at ACC and also win some great door prizes while you are there. Grab your cowboy hats and boots and come and join us for a lot of fun.
Keep warm and be safe!
