rivervision - since election day of 2000.

Monday, 15 August 05 :: i'm here

i'm just exhausted for some reason. i mean, terribly, really, absolutely, utterly exhausted. i slept for most of the day yesterday, and today has been really lazy. maybe its the heat, maybe its.. who knows what it is. but i'll tell ya this, i'm rather sick of oregon in the summer.. this no air conditioning thing really is for the birds. i mean, really and truly for the birds. i'll tell ya this, after seeing how my cats are lying around in it, i know it ain't for them either.

anyhow, i'm pretty stressed these days.. due to my job, and being over committed, and studying for the GRE. i take the GRE a week from tommorrow. will it be over with then? only if i do a decent job on it.. *sigh* we'll see. i'll cross my fingers.

okay. i'm way over committeed... and this job.. i thought i had the night to myself, but i shouldn't have stopped by my office today as i now have something else to do tonight. if there are only a few folks at this meeting @ 6.30, i'm outta 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.
