Monday, 18 April 05 :: god damn.

there's nothing like the rush of a campaign meeting. really, nothing. for me, work really is the best thing i can do to deal with loneliness, or else it would simply eat me alive. maybe its not healty, but its survival. and i have good friends to show for it, and lots and lots of laughing. lots of it.

long day today. felt good. work, class, stopping by to see friends, 4.5 hours of meetings.

might i know the future governor? it would be nice. i'm in on the ground floor of something that could be amazingly spectactular. i mean, really. in november of 2006 i could be gazing at a tv screen, watching election returns come in and see a guy i know accepting the governorship of oregon. yes, i could. and i'm just into stuff like that to think it is really cool to be able to say that i know the governor of oregon.. in fact, i might just use him as a referance, because i'm doing good work for him. and if not 2006, 2010. yeah.

whats on the agenda for tommorrow? work, meetings at 2, 4 and 7. studying for the gre. having a serious conversation with someone about something i just don't have time to do. fantasizing about a possible trip to costa rica. laughing, a lot.

okay. i'm off to finish my work day.

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.
