Friday, 24 December 04 :: thumb splitting , time

yes, its that time of year, the time of year that one of the corners of one of my thumbs splits. eww gross, yeah, whatever. i'm sure i'm not the only person this happens too. its painful enough for me to be reluctant to use the thumb, thusly my handwriting is awful.. luckily i've got fairly good typing skills, so i can still type fast enough (faster than most of my friends but not as fast as i normally type). i'll be putting as much lotion on it as possible, even some carmex, and whatever other waxy / jelly type stuff i can track down in my apartment. dunno if that heals it faster, but it can't hurt.

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.
