I know I am; it is hard to be a student and have a lot to do. Especially when midterms are here, or you are just getting them finished. My recommendations are do not put off your final projects once you have the ability to work on them, know the content and get it done. The last thing you want is to come in at the end of the semester and not be able to print off your final project. I have been there, and it is not an easy thing to deal with. Also, make sure you are getting plenty of sleep and a good nutritional diet. If you are stressed or need to vent feel free to do so, we have counselors here at MATC who would love to sit down and talk. Go to a-z index on MatcMadison.edu web page and look up counselors. If you can not figure that out go to this web address which will lead you strait to their home page at MATC http://matcmadison.edu/counseling.

This blog will be run by the Madison Area Technical College Student Ambassadors to enable us to help other students at the college. We'll be blogging about: activities and events on campus, solutions to challenges students face, need-to-know information as we learn about it, and other advice and tidbits from successful students at Madison College.

Parking
Hey Madison College Students,
Today was our first true rainy day of the year. Just as a reminder, the part of the student parking lot that is adjacent to the instructor/staff parking lot tends to flood. Security has started to block this section off. The college is currently working on this issue, but for the short term this is a good solution. And remember, if you’re worried about flooding, the 2nd parking lot across the street is much higher.
Stay safe and stay dry.

Performing Arts Interest Group
This semester the student ambassadors are starting up some online discussion groups for the students here. One of them is the Performing Arts group which is designed to let people know about what's going on in Madison's film, theater and scenes around town. I'm the moderator for this group and I've put up a lot of links that point to free events that I hope people will take advantage of.
If you're interested in joining the group send me an e-mail at gleinweber@stu.matcmadison.edu and I can add a student interest group access button to your Blackboard site. Have a good day (and some fun to)
