let's check some simple things before you take it into the shop.
FIRST
pop the hood and remove the battery cover. next to the battery on the passenger side, remove the black plastic cover. beneath this, you will see some aluminum AC lines. start the car & turn the AC on full blast. let it run for 5min and feel the larger of the AC lines. is it very cold? if so, the problem is not your compressor.
SECOND
if the line gets cold, you have a problem with the mixing flaps that control airflow inside the dashboard. they are all controlled by the climatronic unit (the one that says Manuel on the dashboard). the problem is usually this unit. pop the trim piece out from around the climatronic. remove the screws. pull out the unit. use a small wire brush to clean all the terminal. do the same with the plugs themselves. re-install. there is a TSB for this; condensation from the vents will drip water onto the plugs & cause corrosion & poor contact. this can cause the climatronic to act funny.
you can do both of these things in about 20min. let us know how it goes!
