heat and depression, they go hand in hand??
its 84 degrees and only 11:50am. we're doomed. its going to get hot, very hot. i've got to go to lowell this afternoon to hang out with a bunch of rural oregonians, IN THE HEAT.
i don't give a flying fig that i'm from the southeast, that i used to manage large groups of kids in 100 degree heat and 100% humidity.. i just don't have it in me. I AM A BIG HEAT WUS. I don't like it, i don't thrive in it.. i'm like a cat, i just want to lie down and pant.. or something akin to panting.
i'm much happier on days when the high is 60, or 70 tops. i'll still go swimming on days like that. i'll still do whatever i want too. and when i'm done with whatever activity i'm doing i can put a nice longsleeve shirt on and feel just comfy.
yes, scotland and ireland in mid june were just perfect for me for summer. i'll take a scottish winter, or a canadian one. (side note: can i become an expat too?)
goddess.. and its not even the hottest month of the year, we're still a week out from it.
in other news..
i'm suffering from the 'i could fall off the earth and die and no one would notice' blues.
*sigh*
really, i could fall off the earth and die and no one would notice, for a few days at least.
this being single and not having a regular place to go to work thing just sucks, big time. i go through this 'i could fall off the earth and die and no one would notice' thing on a regular basis. i also go through the 'and no one would care' thing too.. and i know thats not true.. i tell myself over and over in my head..
the thrill of the beginning of the week has tempered because at this point i've not heard anything else, since tuesday, about my potential campaign work. and i've not done much, trying to gear myself up to do a task i'm puttin off.. so, we'll see. it would be a great boost for me to do this, but if there's no place for me, i guess i'll understand. maybe. maybe not. *hurt* even after hearing something totally wonderful was said about me at another meeting.
*sigh*
i'm just hoping everyone thinks i'm totally busy and thats why no one has called.
*sigh*

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
