Friday, 13 May 05 :: emilin's questions

FINALLY. i'm answering emilin's questions. playing the interview game!

1. If you had one year of your life to do over, which one would it be?

2. Would ever consider parenting alone?

3. What does your ideal graduate program look like?

one with an assistantship! ha! the university of georgia. studying with professors like rob branch and mike orey. yes. professors who will give me the freedom to explore, but within a supportive structure so i don't get lost in my exploration.

4. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

oh, i hope i've got my phd in hand. i will have just gotten it. and i'll have a job, goddess.. doing some kind of technology connection to something that will help save the world from the religious right.. but a job where i make comfortable money so i can be a parent, and travel with my kid. i see myself being more confident, more sure of myself, more open to other people. i hope to see myself back in the pacific northwest, but if i'm not here, maybe madison, wi? or boulder, co?

5. What should everyone appreciate about you?

that i'm a terribly loyal friend. i honestly care about other's welfare. that i'm constantly struggling with the balance of how to get my needs met, while also supporting others to get their needs met. that i know i'm not perfect. that i love to laugh, more than any other emotional expression, laughing is the best. that i'm smart and can figure things out quickly. i'm passionate and strong. that i'm constantly looking to find balance between needing someone but also relying on myself. that i love to be outside doing physical things. i make good bread. that i'm really trying to be the best person i can be, at all times.

how's that? now, the game is that i answered emilin's questions, and if you want me to ask you questions, feel free to leave a comment and i will :)

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.
