Tuesday, 20 July 04 :: this and that.

my life is slowly returning to some semblance of normal. slowly.

some people know the whole hideous story. most, nowadays, don't. i won't go into it. i don't need to.

anyhow.

my life is slowly returning to some semblance of normal, after years of crap.

i'm excited about the little things. the new bed i got, the bed spread (a purple, pink, and beige quilt with embroidered flowers and a matching sham!), the dishes (you should see the big plates, such a beautiful shade of purple!).. and the newest addition, a list on the fridge. a piece of paper, one that says "things needed for the apartment" and the other "grocery list".. both held on by the many magnets (half of which are those cool celestial seasonings magnets that were / are coming in the boxes and such good powerful magnets).. might not seem like a big deal, but this normal thing, well.. considering where i've been its huge.

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.
