Summer is on it's way

Hello everyone! Spring semester is coming to a close, hope ya'll are doing good on finals. Graduation is next week YIPPEEEE, I am so excited to finally be done with my degree but also a little sad because I will miss all the great instructors and classmates on campus! Guess I will have to come back and take more classes lol. This semester has been a long one but incredibly fun. I would like to encourage everyone to paticipate in clubs, organizations and other extracuriclur activities on campus. You will be amazed at how these can enhance your college experience. But I do advise that you don't overextend yourself, plenty of rest will keep alert and able to focus on your studies. I learned this the hard way by pushing myself beyond the point of exhaustion and have had to deal with some serious health issues because of it. I wouldn't trade any of the great times I have had this semester but definatly would make sure I found the time for rest. Good luck to all of you in what ever your future holds and you never know I may be back!

ACC Roundup

Howdy ACC!

Today's the first day of March, and I am loving this sunshine and blue skies!

Now that it's March, I am so excited for the ACC Open House! It will be taking place next Thursday, March 10 from 4-7 PM. It's really going to be an awesome time. We'll have plenty of information available about ACC, so if you have any questions or want to learn new things about this great college, the Open House is the place to get that information.

Alongside the valuable information, we have lots of fun plans for the evening. There will be bull riding, adventure pictures, and FREE food! To top things off we will also have some really great door prizes, and SCHOLARSHIPS!

You won't want to miss it!

See you there!

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!
