Wednesday, 25 January 06 :: day 7

i'm on day 7 of this recovery crap. day 6 was a crappy day, except for the 2 hours i got to spend with the teens i get to work with. i've been slapped back to bedrest as much as possible over the next few days, as i popped a suture. :P i don't do bed rest very well at all. its rather depressing and not good for me emotionally. yesterday i attempted to plead with the plastic surgeon about being able to do more physical activity, but no one in the room, not even my friend, would hear my side of it. :P

so. its me, a bunch of dvds, and anyone who might come to visit. friend k is coming today, friend m is coming tommorrow for 45 min to chat volunteer stuff... going to call some other folks to try to plead my case about coming to visit me. hopefully friend c could come in and watch a movie, make me dinner, and cuddle some on sunday. i could really use his support right now.

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.
