Back to the Grind!

Spring Break is up and now we are back to the books. Transition from a week of vacationing in the nice sun to hitting the books at full force can be somewhat of a hard transition to do. I am a pure proof of that, and I’m sure that a lot of you can agree with me that it’s a little tough getting back into the groove.
But we don’t have to wait long for another break! Wednesday is Inter-high day! Yes, that means we get another day off! With a high of 74 I’m sure we are all looking forward to it!

Final Week of March

On Monday the Vice President’s Leadership Class is going to have Dr. Brian Orbert, the Area Dean of Student Life, talk about his many years of leadership opportunities.

Wednesday is Inter-High day at MCC so remember all day classes are canceled because the classrooms will be used to give tests to the high school students. If you have a night class you still have to attend, it is not canceled. Thursday the 27th there is a PTK (the international honor society organization for community and junior colleges) meeting at 12:15.

Finals Week

Finals are here; make sure you prepare yourself by coming to the library during it’s open hours this week. Hours are Monday & Tuesday 7:30 a.m. - 11:00 p.m., 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday. Finally on Friday from 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. Have a great holiday.

My experience at McCook Community College has been a great experience over the past two years. I have been involved with five extracurricular activities; which include GSA (Gay Straight Alliance), PBL (Phi Beta Lambda), PTK (Phi Theta Kappa), SMAC (Student’s Making Active Choices), and Student Senate. Not to mention I have gotten involved with music this year; Choir and Band. Things get pretty hectic around campus when involved so much and taking seven classes all at the same time. Everyone is more than happy to help out with homework or if you have a bad day just openly talk about it.
