i can't wait to get back to eugene. i've been pleasant and not sleeping well and driving a car that is way to big for me for 10 days now. i'm grumpy, tired of sitting around talking about how great it is to start all over after 2.5 years on disability. *sigh* i should be sad to leave my family, but, in fact, i need my own space. *sigh* i've been fighting grumpiness for a number of days now. i want MY bed, MY cats, and my life. its bad enough living on the sidelines of everyone's lives in eugene, but at least there i have my own home.. living on the sidelines of everyone's life here just sucks even worse.

yes. this is what is going on in my head these days. grumpiness to the nth degree. i can only fake it for so much longer.

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.
