Congratulations! You have found Joy's home page!
Something about Joy...
I was born in Dalian, China; I came to the United States in June 1996. It was quite a big change for me, but I love it here. =) I recently graduated from Caltech. College life there was definitely unique... lots of awesome people, and *fun* classes. =) I am majored in Computer Science and learned some, I think =P, useful skills.
My life took a turn, well maybe it was planned all along, in senior year--I took some education classes and ended up applying for a teacher's education program at Claremont Graducate University. Since summer of 2003, I have been enrolled in a wonderful program and teaching full time as a high school math teacher. (yes, I know, I am crazy! and yes, most of my students are much taller and bigger than me) Since I moved to Fort Irwin, I also changed job recently. Now, I am teaching at the middle school on base. I enjoy teaching and plan on being a teacher for a while.
Alright, I have been horrible about updating. =P Well, I am happily wedded now! =) But missing my lovie dubbie Joshie Toshie very very much since we are not in the same place right now! =/ I am keeping myself busy this summer with classes, exercising, and visiting. =) Visit me if you are a friend and have time! Fort Irwin can be really really boring by myself!
What is Joy like? Good question! Joy is... hyper, bouncy, weird (in a good way, I think *heehee*), short, squeaky, full of energy (according to Tasha), dreamy (sometimes), nerdy (duh, Techers are nerdy), anywhere from 19 to 42 (according to my students), love to smile and cry... loved by the most caring and protective parents... has the most wonderful friends... is in love with the most amazing guy, my husband.=)...
Joy's Schedule
I am currently working as an in school detention room teacher during the day, doing Academic Team stuff for most days after school, while trying to keep a consistant work-out schedule. If you know me, you know I like to keep busy. =P
