Monday, 1 August 05 :: my dad update

for the few readers following along about my dad..

he's headed to charlottesville today to get radiation treatments. he'll have 10 of them. he's staying with his brother in law.

he had an mri a couple of weeks ago, and the stuff on his spine has shrunk! his numbers are good as well. yeah! but the drs. expected this. :P drs. i say anything positive is excellent news.

AND he said that anyone who wants to pray for him, keep him in his thoughts, whatever, to please do.

my dad's gotta beat this. i want him to come see me graduate, to get my ph.d., i want him to be there through the trials and tribulations of writing my dissertation.. i want my dad to be able to call me dr. robertshaw, for us to stand side by side, the 2 dr. robertshaws, father and daughter.

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.
