I love the holidays!

October 26, 2007

It’s almost time for HALLOWEEN! I can not fully express how much excitement I have about the last few days of this month. First of all, Wednesday October 31st from 11am-2pm Tomball College will be hosting FALL FEST 2007. As a member of many clubs, including Student Activities Board, you will see me dressed in my costume and helping out with as many events as possible.

So for the last week work, school, and club meetings have kept me crazy! I have even made some time to go workout! It’s been a rough start for me to pick up where I left off with my workout routine. I went from working out 6 days a week to only a couple of days a week. HOWEVER! I am making great efforts to get back on track. Ü

Friends, of course, help me endure. Whether I am having trouble in a class, at home, or in a relationship- my friends are ALWAYS there for me. I really appreciate every one of you who share a part of each day with me. College has really become about establishing relationships- in school, work, and my personal life. These people that I meet and work with are going to affect and remain active in my future.

On an academic note: I took the SML Exam on Wednesday October 24th. I was very nervous about the test. Even though I volunteered to take the test for fun and to support Math Club, I still felt some pressure. I enjoyed the experience; I don’t expect to win any prizes, but I am thankful that I went through with it.

Well students and staff (I know some faculty/staff read these too) it is time for me to turn in…and try on my new Halloween Costume one more time! Ü Thank you for your continuous attention and support. Keep in mind that online registration begins November 13th and onsite registration begins November 26th. Peak registration at the Front Counter is going to be a frenzy! (But I look forward to it! I LOVE helping students here at Tomball College)

Trabajando mucho…

October 18, 2007

Hello hello! I am busy…what else is new? haha

 Well today I attended a Math Club and SGA Executive Council meeting. We have so much coming up for Tomball College. Next week for Math Club I’ll be taking the SML Exam. Wish me luck everyone! Please look for posters for upcoming speakers and events. Definitely show us some love at this year’s Fall Fest- we’re having a dunking booth to dunk FACULTY AND STAFF! If it’s not too cold David Birch and Dr. Eric Wildman have promised to support our club by volunteering to dunked. AMAZING! I look forward to it and I just hope it’s not cold out.

SGA will have a meeting next Wednesday with all of the clubs, and as the new VP of Student Outreach I will be ready to hear from all of your representives within the clubs. Student Activities Board and SALSA club also are working very hard to bring events that will help Tomball College grow and allow students to truly enjoy themselves here. I have volunteered to work on specific committees for SAB so I’ll let you know when and what to expect soon!

 Student Ambassadors keep me busy with so many wonderful opportunities to volunteer for schools within the area and other branches of the community. I appreciate this opportunity to communicate with the world through my blogs. I have been busy with tests and stories and quizzes for all of my classes. Friends and study groups have kept me going and succeeding. Thank you all.

 Good Night and I’ll post again soon!

Quick Shout…

October 10, 2007

So I have to announce that I am officially Tomball College’s Student Government Association’s Vice President of Student Outreach! (Wow that’s a long title!)

Thank you sooo much for your votes. I look forward to this opportunity to better serve the students. Ü

So much has happened for me this past week but most importantly:

-I am currently taking care of family matters every day of the week. My father is required to travel often for work; therefore, I am also responsible for my 16 year old sister during the week. She is my best friend and I love having the opportunity to bring her around the college, introduce her to friends and staff, while showing her the importance of college and participating.

-I appreciate the encouragement and support from all of the staff and students here at the College. You truly brighten my week.

 Tonight is a busy evening for me so this post will be short and sweet. I have a trig test on Thursday to study for so hopefully I’ll have time soon to update you all with another post.

Thanks again for your votes and continuous support.

My Life is in Full Swing!

October 3, 2007

Good Evening ladies and gentlemen:           

First and foremost I’d like to share some positive news: I earned an “A” on my first Trigonometry Test!!! YES! I have to credit this success to my dedicated studying. I take advantage of my free time here at the college as much as possible. I love that the college opens early and closes late so I can always find a safe, comfortable, studying environment. Honestly, the new chapter in Trig is more intense. Our professor suggested that we visit the Math Lab here at the Tomball College library. The best things about our Math Labs: They’re free & the tutors can comprehend up to even pre-calculus. So I may have to take them up on that offer. Ü           

I have to give kudos to the Student Life offices here at Tomball College. The amazing counselors over in office South 114 have helped me finish mapping my future. I truly felt lost in my endless questions about Spring 2008 graduation, which University I should transfer to for my degree, and overall possible careers with the fields I want to study. The lovely counselors Sarah David and Lisa Davis took time from their lunch breaks to listen to my questions and answer them based on professional and personal college experiences. It’s settled: I will be transferring to SHSU to major in Spanish. I’ll teach High School Spanish while I worked towards earning a Master’s of Art degree in Psychology at an undetermined major university. Yay Me!

More great news!!! I am running and truly hoping to win the position of Tomball College Student Government Association’s Vice President of Student Outreach. I enjoy connecting with and helping students on a daily basis. This is really an opportunity for me to expand my benevolence and dedication to all of you through SGA. You’ve probably seen my flyers around school so please, don’t hesitate. The website will be open for voting until Friday October 5th, 2007.

Finally, I need to make a correction about my friend Alycia and her baby. She was experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions and didn’t deliver Naythan. However, I received a phone call at 8:17pm on October 2, 2007 and she is in the room…READY TO DELIVER! I am honestly excited and so proud! I do wish more than anything that I could be there for her this very moment. Alas, I will have to wait until I’m not too busy with school and work. Also, by the time I have my schedule clear I should also have enough money to spend at least two days with the new baby and my best friend. Congratulations and God Bless to them!           

On a sad note, my aunt Justa passed away this week. She is one of my father’s older sister’s with my family currently living in Venezuela. I am definitely keeping my extended and immediately family in my prayers.

Thank you all for keeping up with my blogs. I hope to receive more comments from students and staff and anyone who takes the time to read. A very sweet young lady told me at the front counter the other day that she has been reading my blogs and realizes how busy I am. Ü I appreciate her acknowledgment and hope to receive more. Have a great week Tomball College and I’ll update you as soon as possible.
