Friday, 21 October 05 :: rehapprensive

this morning i wake up with being apprehensive about work in a different way. my apprehension about work is not based on my own performance, but on the decision of someone who thinks vastly different from my co-worker and i.

i constantly wonder how grassroots activism and a business model can work together.. i constantly wonder how my colleague and i can work with the folks who we report too. i constantly wonder about the dynamic between those who are guided by their wallets and those who are guided by their hearts.

anyhow. i wonder a lot of things.

today is the beginning of a heart of now weekend. i'm apprehensive about the weekend. sometimes i wish i could check my ego at the door, and other times i wonder why i have too.

anyhow.

i'm working on my statement for graduate school. i'm working on.. keeping my sanity in the most insane moments.. i'm working on .. a lot of stuff.

in this moment i'm exhausted. i hope it doesn't last.

i sense a cup of coffee in my near future.

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.
