Tuesday, 14 February 06 :: still funny and more.

okay, i have to admit, i still think this whole 'hunting quayle' thing is funny. not laugh out loud funny, but chuckle to myself funny.

------

its snowing. it just started. it doesn't snow here in the valley, ever.

AND. gotta goota the non-profit. gotta make a to do list. somehow it feels not enough is on it.

psssst. 30 minutes later, its still snowing.

me on the tuesday snow trip, 11 feb 06 see this? its me on the group snow trip. see how happy i look? thats not a look that has spent a lot of time on my face.. i mean, the utter joy. really. for those of you who don't know me very well, this is actual joy.. people's perceptions may vary. but yeah, this is the reason i'm doing what i'm doing right now.. i know its not sustainable, and eventually soon i have to think about what next, but for now i'll take this. that look in my eyes is worth every bit of what i'm doing right now, and why i'm doing it, and for the reasons and the intentions i started doing it back around christmas. i'm happy right now. as long as i stay in the present, i am. this picture is proof. i can't deny it.

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.
