Although I have not updated in many days, I have not, in fact, been ill. As I said when I started this LiveJournal, I did not know whether I, Joy Skipton, would be able to update at regular intervals. As it turned out, I was, amazingly, so busy that I could not, actually, update ( Read more... )

I, Joy Skipton, apologize to all you readers for not posting in a very long time. I was, in fact, in the throes of exhibition at school, and I could not, amazingly, find any spare time to update. However, exhibitions are over now, and I have also, to the best of my knowledge, finished grading them. I had to, unfortunately, give out many poor ( Read more... )

I have, as you may have noticed, changed my color scheme. Some people, in fact, complained about the legibility of the previous color scheme. I, Joy Skipton, think that legibility is a very important thing. This is, actually, why I insist that if one of my students' handwriting is difficult to read, they use a word processor for their written ( Read more... )

I have not, I am afraid, posted for several days because I have been bedridden with a horrible illness for much of vacation. This is, as you can probably assume, very unfortunate. Sadly, I missed out on sweater shopping with the girls from bridge club ( Read more... )

Today, while reviewing my User Info page, I was shocked to learn that I am the only person in the LiveJournal community who lists Joseph Bruchac and Bernard Evslin as my interests! However, I am thinking about posting comments on my students' LiveJournals, demanding that they add these two wonderful authors to their lists of LiveJournal interests. ( Read more... )

Hello, readers. On my last entry I received two comments! One of which was from Bonita Rickers, and the other from Carla Oppenheimer. Both are students of mine. Unfortunately, I believe that these comments are to be known as, to my knowlege, "flames," because they mocked me. I did not know, in fact, that I could be mocked because, actually, I am ( Read more... )

Hello, readers. This is my third LiveJournal entry. I am posting to inform you that I have, in fact, downloaded a "client." This will be useful for both writing entries and making what are called "LiveJournal cuts," where you can, as a matter of fact, make a link on your LiveJournal to even more of a LiveJournal entry. I, Joy, think that this is ( Read more... )

Well, I am writing this second entry in this Live Journal because I have, in fact, changed my color scheme. Also, I have equipped myself with three User Pictures, symbolizing my favorite cartoon character, sport, and bird. This is, I have heard, something that the students do as well ( Read more... )

Well, now I have a Live Journal. Many students on Gold Team have been talking about them, so I decided to give it a whirl. I am not sure, however, if I will post in it regularly. Web-logging, (or "blogging" as I have, in fact, heard it called), is very new to me. I will not, however, make mistakes. Making mistakes, as a matter of fact, is not in my ( Read more... )
