Sunday, 16 October 05 :: daniel

just know that there is a beautiful man named daniel who is in his last days on this earth. he has leukemia. i got to spend a weekend with him watching a transformation. i only spent that one weekend, but out of all the students i've gotten to see over the last 5 months, he's been one that has stuck in my mind. he was so generous with everyone he came into contact with that weekend, so generous with me.

godspeed daniel. maybe i'll see you on the other side.

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.
