This blog needs a cool name: I can't believe I'll be teaching in this room this semester

http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-cant-believe-ill-be-teaching-in-this.html

This blog needs a cool name. Thursday, August 25, 2011. I can't believe I'll be teaching in this room this semester. I think the students are going to be a little distracted. Heck, I think I'm going to be a little distracted. I mean, the view out the windows is something like this:. And the building looks like this:. Unfortunately (not really) I sleep in a different building. There's my front door in the center of the picture. I think it's going to be a good semester. August 25, 2011 at 3:22 PM.

This blog needs a cool name: Opening convocation and the High Table dinner

http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2011/08/opening-convocation-and-high-table.html

This blog needs a cool name. Monday, August 29, 2011. Opening convocation and the High Table dinner. We processed down the Cedar Staircase behind the bagpiper, Billy James:. Here's a better picture of Billy:. Listening to the convocation speech in the Long Gallery:. That evening, we missed the principal's reception in the Great Hall, because our fancy academic robes were locked in a closet and there was a little trouble finding the key. But we did make it to dinner in the Long Gallery. If Mama Ain't Happy.

This blog needs a cool name: April 2010

http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

This blog needs a cool name. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. To revive the poor, ignored, languishing blog. Today was the last day of classes! I gave an exam today! I already had over 3 inches of grading, before the exam! Maybe I should rethink my course schedule. I have plans for the summer though. Plans! And they may even be interesting enough to blog about. We'll see. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. The best part of summer. The Thistle: Where I'm From. If Mama Ain't Happy.

This blog needs a cool name: September 2011

http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

This blog needs a cool name. Monday, September 5, 2011. And it's the first day of school! The first first day was back in August. They went to school for three whole days, and then we left for England-Germany-England. Here they are on their second first day. Don't they look so smart. Didn't take her long to pick up a little British! We had some special guests at the manor today. A group from The Old Vic. It was a brilliant. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

This blog needs a cool name: August 14-15: Germany, day 1

http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2011/08/germany-day-1-aug-14-15.html

This blog needs a cool name. Saturday, August 27, 2011. August 14-15: Germany, day 1. Day one was loooooooooooooooong. In retrospect, we were a little nuts. Or I was, since I made the crazy decisions. It was a planes, trains and automobile day. Automobile: Drove to Evansville airport. Planes: Flew from Evansville to Detroit. Sat around for 3 hours. Flew from Detroit to London. Sat around for 6 hours. Flew from London to Frankfurt. Trains: Caught the train from Frankfurt to Bingen, which is on the Rhine.

This blog needs a cool name: Happy birthday to me!

http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2011/05/happy-birthday-to-me.html

This blog needs a cool name. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Happy birthday to me! I shopped for myself this year, and told everyone else not to bother. With perfect timing, both packages showed up on the doorstep this morning. That's one summer top for me (teal), one backpack for Kathryn (deep blue, from a pattern that's in the book), one summer top for Becca (the rest of the blues and the green), and one pretty dark red something - maybe a shawl - for me. At least, that's what they'll be someday.

This blog needs a cool name: March 2011

http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

This blog needs a cool name. Thursday, March 24, 2011. It's the crazy part of the semester. Who am I kidding? It's all crazy. But this week is worse, since my spring break (two weeks ago and too short) doesn't coincide with the kids' spring break. It's been a fun-filled week of dragging the kids to sit in my office. Or John's, for a change of scenery. Someday I'll catch up on the pictures. I've only missed a handful of days - I think. But for all of you who are eagerly waiting, here's a good one.

http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

This blog needs a cool name. Saturday, July 3, 2010. Start of a summer family tradition? The girls and I went blueberry picking. John stayed home to watch Germany dismantle Argentina. I think those were the teams. Football, for those of you wondering. Oops. Forgot. You people probably call it soccer. Anyway. It went something like this:. Mama, is this one ripe? What about this one? Look, I picked a blueberry.". Look, my fingers are blue.". I need a drink.". I need to go potty.". Can we leave yet? 1/2 cup...

This blog needs a cool name. Thursday, February 24, 2011. I think it's ok that this photo isn't in order. Look what I got in the mail today. And yes, John got one too. And they only had to change about 4 words on it! Saturday, February 19, 2011. The past 2 weeks, more or less:. Sunday, 2/6: Kathryn singing in the choristers choir. She glared at me, but I took the picture anyway. Monday, 2/7: Kathryn and Becca opened a restaurant! Tuesday, 2/8: You should read this book. ALL of you. Monday, 2/14: Kathryn ...
