what i'm doing.
just sent this note to a friend who is participating in nanowrimo.. this is what i'm doing write, right now..
fwiw, i'm writing as well. 1 month till the most important statement of purpose i've ever written is due at the university of georgia (dec 1), in order to (hopefully) fully convince them that they should let this southerner turned touchy-feely-lets-change-the-world-(bush sucks)-pacific-northwesterner into their program (again, for the next degree).. in the beginning of the writing and sending it off to my ma -- a ph.d. in educational research and just retired associate dean of the college of education and human resources -- and my aunt -- who coordinates the writing center at a small liberal arts college in florida and helps people all the time with this kind of stuff -- it has been made very clear to me that the touchy-feely language of heart of now and terribly passionate saving-the-world politics doesn't fly to well in academia. i'm busily reading research articles about open-ended learning environments and virtual communites so that i can put something in my statement about *why* i'm wanting to study instructional technology. interesting stuff, excellent stuff, but a lot of pressure.. in between work, being away for dancing on the edge, the trip home back east, away again for heart of now, and, oh yeah, spending time with my friends.
good luck g. have fun, and don't forget to breathe. :)

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.
