Wednesday, 26 January 05 :: its been awhile

i'm not writing here much these days. thats okay.

i've thought about joanie a lot over the last week. its hard to believe that what happened to her did. its hard to believe that she's gone, that she will never bring her laughter to eugene ever again. i wonder what joanie was thinking, her loss of faith in the cause, her loss of belief that she too could be among the many that she worked so hard to save. i wish we could have saved her.

what else? life is moving on, not like i'd like it too.. but it moves.

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.
