Friday, 4 February 05 :: its been a pissy week.

yes, its been a pissy pissy week. *sigh* and the thing that is digging at me the most, i've not dealt with.

but i had a great conversation with a last night, and the other day she and i and another friend of ours came up with a great action we'd like to do in the summer. *and* i've decided to persue a new career, one that i've already got the education for. i hope something happens, and that someone believes in me to give me a chance. we'll see. monday i call old professors in hopes that they'll let me put them down as referances. i'm also studying, brushing up.. and excited about it. i can feel the old passion and excitement there as i'm reading the content.. so, *cross my fingers*

*and* part of a filling came out on saturday night. thought i'd have to get a crown on the tooth.. but nope! a filling. less than $100 to fix the tooth.. yeah!

*and* i'm getting a nice refund back from the irs this year. i'll use it to help pay off this laptop. and yes, even in this time of terribly tight finances i realize this laptop is so worth it. i'm not stuck in one place, and it just runs sooo nicely.

*and* i happened to be at a meeting the other day with the chair of the democratic party of oregon. i got to talk to him about some of my frustrations with the current state of the democrats, and he was so kind about it. *and* it looks promising that howard dean will be the new chair of the democratic national committee.

so, i'm super pissy and shit, but good things *did* happen. i should be greatful, because, yes, life could be a hell of a lot worse.

if only my knight in shining armour would come along, and things would be even better :)

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.
