Wednesday, 15 December 04 :: going skiing!

i and 3 friends are going x-c skiing (goddess willing there is SNOW) with 3 more friends of mine on sunday who will be renting a cabin at the ski place.. I AM SO OUT OF SHAPE. after my illness kicking in and me not biking much, then getting 2 colds in ONE MONTH and furthering the not-biking thing i've just gotten in TERRIBLE shape.

warning (cause one of you reads this).. i'll be doing A LOT of huffing and puffing, and coughing and hacking. its a good thing we'll have a 7 and 8 year old with us, they'll slow us down, i hope.

and hopefully after a day in the mountains my lungs will feel MUCH better about doing exercise.

oh, and yeah, i'll be going back again on x-mas day. or the day after x-mas? one of those days that weekend, cause my 3 friends will have a cabin again.

hope there is snow! hope there is snow! hope there is snow!

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.
