Where has the time gone?

When I came here to SCC in 2008 I always knew that eventually I would graduate, so why am I getting nervous about graduating? I feel like a high school senior anticipating graduation. It just seems as though the time here has gone by so fast!

I feel like I have accomplished a lot since first enrolling here. I started out as a half time student going to night classes and not very involved to a student who seemed like I never went home. Now, I'm due to graduate and I'm a little nervous. I got to know faculty and staff here, students and even made some really good friends along the way.

People ask me "do you feel like you get the college experience here?" There is no other answer I can give other then yes! I got education, knowledge, fun events to be involved in on/off campus, clubs, honor societies, student senate, meeting our new college president Dr. Chesbrough (who can pass up an opportunity like that?), be part of a group of students that met with the accreditation board, blogging for SCC, etc. I can honestly say, "the college experience" is what you choose to make of it, and I think mine was GRAND.

Spring Break 2012

Well, it seems that Spring Break has come and gone in a blink of an eye. Did you do anything exciting? How about that AMAZING weather? I don't know about anyone else, but I was in complete denial about turning on my air conditioning. However, 85 degrees is a little uncomfortable to sleep in. There are so many things blooming and growing outside that my allergies are awful, even though usually they are very mild.

The most eventful thing I did this weekend was definitley the Cottleville St. Patty's Day Parade. That was a blast! Both of my boys got over 60 strings of beadsc of candy and sun. The sun felt great, until we got sheets of rain dumped on us. I have not been to a ton of parades in my life, but I would have to say this was the longest one I have been to. It was almost too long. It was great to have so much participation in the parade, but it made for a long day. All in all it was great and I look forward to taking my boys to this event for years to come.

I hope everyone was able to enjoy a little bit of sunshine while on break!
