Wednesday, 21 December 05 :: changing fast

life is changing at a hugely fast pace.. i simply can't keep up at times. anyhow, today was a crappy day at work, but that was weighed with an opportunity to do some work that feels more meaningful based on where my life is right now. i'll have a conversation tommorrow about it and then be able to move my life maybe a bit more forward? we'll see.

i also got the opportunity to spend time with a couple of friends i've been meaning to spend time with for a long time outside of heart of now. when i got there i was still flying a bit high from my conversation about this new opportunity, but they were forgiving and kind about it, and we had a nice time.. this afternoon i got the pleasure to help one of those friends out simply by loaning her my car.. the smile on her face and the kindness she offered really made an incredibly icky stressful situation bearable.

it looks like i've got plans for the holiday. i'll be spending time with a new dear friend and her boyfriend. i do have some nerves about how important this new friend is becoming so quickly, and, frankly, i wish that friend p was around just to give me perspective, grounding and just time. today was the first day since p, and family, left for baja that i noticed their absence, and that was hard. usually after a day like today i can drop in and read with p's daughter t, or something like that.. but.. anyhow. i'm exhausted, i have a headache, and i've got a lot to do tommorrow.

till then.

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.
