Tuesday, 4 October 05 :: sugar high!

i'm having a sugar high. goddess, i just love sugar. anyhow, i just emailed folks at uga, and va tech.. in advance of my visit home.. after making a complete ass on the phone with the guy at ga state, i had to do something to make up for that.. anyhow, i'm setting up visits at uga and va tech.. i don't want to go back to blacksburg, but, well.. i really need to explore every possible option. plus, if dad gets awfully sick, being at va tech might just be the best thing.

damn that cancer.

i made an irresponsible decision for work, but a responsible decision for me.. i'm going to go spend some time with friend k on thursday. i need to get out to lvec and breathe some. really, breathe. it'll be nice to spend the time with her, and the kids. i always call her place with a purpose, but when i hear the answering machine with r's voice on it, i have this idea that i might call one day, just to hear the answering machine, cause it always brings a smile to my face, even in the darkest of moments.. actually, i really wouldn't do that hmm.. i wonder if little friend t would record MY message? anyhow, i need to breathe some, and being out at lvec always helps me to do that. old person in my life, j, who wanted to get me out to lvec back when it was naka-ima.. it took me a long time to get there, but i did, and really, i did when the time was right..

i've become assimilated into the granola culture.. whats on the menu for dinner? quinoa (keen-wa) with spinach and tomato sauce, with dessert being granola topped with cinnamon, nutmeg, honey and peanut butter.. yummy! though lunch was pizza, and breakfast.. well.. tommorrow i'll be having eggs.

okay. off to work. and getting tofu. its tuesday, bulk tofu at surata for $1.00.

i just need to get through tommorrow.

cancer sucks

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.
