Monday, 5 December 05 :: i'm in a crabby mood, even with coffee

grr. i'm in a way crabby mood this morning. or re: this afternoon.

why am i crabby?

all around me people are falling in love. i'm not even grabbing a glance.. and if i am, i'm not noticing.
i can't find any lip balm. i have many tubes of the stuff in various incarnations, and i can't find any. and my lips are chapped.
i had to pay rent today.
these damn applications to grad school. this damn writing sample shit for the worst of the programs.
these damn applications, i hate having my future hanging in the hands of people who don't know me. a lot is riding on this stuff, and i hate it.
i'm on my period. of course i'm grumpy.
i'm absolutely exhausted, even with 2 cups of coffee in me. at 11 i did not want to get out of bed.. and yet i had to get down here to work. :P
all the good stuff in town seems to happen when i'm out at lost valley. i really think they should look at the HoN schedule to schedule things.
did i mention that everyone is falling in love around me, and i get nary a glance?

but.

on the positive side, today is my dad's birthday. 63. i'll write something later about this... love ya dad.

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.
