Friday, 20 May 05 :: no matter..

how poor I get, i will always be somewhat classist. goddess. growing up in academia and having 2 degrees.. and working on getting into a program so that i can start my 3rd degree.. *sigh* its bad.

but i'll admit, part of me is looking forward to getting back to academia. i know it, i understand it, its a comfortable place for me to be. all that spending time in university buildings.. *sigh* i love the smell of a university building.. all those books. all those brains just chugging along at high speed.

I think it's amazing that you're going for a PhD. I always loved college, I can certainly understand why you love to be there.

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.
