Monday, 13 March 06 :: holy shit!

i'm going to be a Ph.D. student!

yeah. most of you don't know that i was raised around a university. my mother wasn't even a ph.d. student when i was born.. she got it when i was 9. my father is a professor. he has ph.d. students, and labs, and.. yeah. and my mother? what did she grow up to be? an associate dean in the college of education. so, this ph.d. thing.. its the family business.

but seriously. holy shit. i'm going to be a ph.d. student! holy shit! in 3 years, i could be nearing becoming dr. me. or me, ph.d. holy shit.

i gotta record these moments of excitement, just because there are a lot of tears to be shed, a lot of tears already shed, because of this. i love this place that i live. this is home.

anyhow, i'm rambling. time to focus. i need to eat dinner cause i gotta go work. more trench work today.

btw.

holy shit! i'm gonna be a ph.d. student!

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.
