Thursday, 5 May 05 :: dial up.

i'm on dial-up. holy fucker. its slow. my end of the dsl is working, qwest is not happy. at least in my region of things.

i've had a lot of thoughts tonight. mainly about how i couldn't connect. finally i remembered this last month of free aol with this new computer. i am so hooked on my laptop, my internet.

i'm really looking forward to a vacation with mom. and getting out of the country, even if its only for a few days, it'll still be good. i'll drive up to seattle and pick mom up, then we'll be off to vancouver. yeah! and its her treat. love mom. love the fact that she and i are close enough to want to do something like this together. love that she ~~loves~~ likes me enough to want to do this with me. love that i like her enough to do it. this weekend i'm bound to hear stories of people who don't have what i have with my ma. i'll be counting my lucky stars.

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.
