Tuesday, 6 September 05 :: great entry.. gone.

i'm writing this great entry on attachments.. but frankly, in this moment, i would like nothing better than to curl up with some of my friends and simply have them tell me that its going to be okay.

i was on my way to an event, and i got pulled over for speeding.. which i was. but frankly, i can't afford the $150.00 that its going to cost me. i'm terribly frustrated and angry at myself. i'm spending money like no one's business, and then this. i treat myself, and then i shoot myself in the foot.

i am so tired of being poor.

i'm going to talk to my friend k about this degree stuff. she doesn't have one, and therefore has a totally different perspective than anyone i know. i'm sure i won't come to any other conclusion other than to go get it, but it'll be good for me to hear the otherside.

anyhow. in this moment i'm rather attached. at least i know it.

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.
