Wednesday, 8 February 06 :: tired.

i'm exhausted today. feeling a bit overwhelmed by lots of things. anyhow.

i've not talked to my uncle t in nearly 3 years. its occured to me that he and i have someone that we both love tremendously who is dealing with some pretty big stuff, health wise, and really, we should connect. we have a shared history, we have shared connections, we have shared dna for christs sake. t and i are family, and if things get bad with my father's health, t and i should be able come together and support each other. there should be some common language there. so, i'll give him a call in the next day or so, just to say -- hey uncle t, you were one of my most very favourite people when i was growing up, i want to reconnect, as adults, after all, i do love you bunches.

anyhow, maybe he'll be receptive, maybe he won't.. but at least i'll have tried.

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.
