And now for some changes...
I found a journal theme that I like so I've put it up, even though the graphic is of the city of Houston. It was the one I liked best out of the other city-based themes (Sidney, Kiev, Portland, everything it seemed but Los Angeles). So maybe now that everything is lighter and brighter around here, I'll want to post more.
On a more serious note, I am refiguring this journal so that anything really personal is for friends only. I know that my students and future employers might be able to find their way here if they tried, so I have to keep that in mind. It's better to start now, while I have a bit of time to put everything in order. With that said, I am not hiding or deleting every post that might have cussing in it. This is still a personal space outside of my professional workplace. I might say things here that I would never say at work or at an otherwise formal occasion, but they won't breach any agreements I've made and they'll be confined to this pixelated world, away from the classroom. I have an obligation to put my best face forward for my job, but I have a right to express myself on my own time. If you want a more professionalized view of me, check here.
