Sunday, 18 July 04 :: yes, this sucks.

i can't get this to work..

but right now i have bigger fish to fry.. my first ever grant to write, thats been put off for 3 days. fucker.

but in other news i finally talked to my friend s about possibly becoming a foster parent. she's a social worker. it can be done. living in a 1 bedroom apartment i can be placed with a baby. we'll see. considering i'm job hunting and all. and gearing up for campaign season and all. but i do have an income and folks want to give me contract work. i'm likely just to ask to become a weekend emergency placement for the time being. exciting, but makes me a bit nervous. i've always thought that i'd become a foster parent first.

goddess.. s and i took her daughter out yesterday to the park. we rode over on our bikes.. *sigh* motherhood was beckoning.

i'm putting this off. this sucks.

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.
