Saturday, 8 April 06 :: blah bla bla bla blaaaaaah

i would like to take this to grad school with me. i think it would make my success in a ph.d. program much more likely, than if i take this dell. and i could donate my dell to LEAD. and that would make them much more successful. in other words, happiness all around. only problem? i really don't have that much money to spend. :P

---

what do i hope to get done in the next 24 hours?

laundry. LOTS OF IT. for the clothing trade that will happen on the 15th. hopefully i won't take anything, i'll just give lots of stuff away.
stats homework. i have to do this. there is no choice. i'll do it while doing laundry tommorrow.
installation of educommons on rivervision. its been awhile since i've geeked out this much, so i'm not sure how easy this will be. and i don't have a linux book handy, but i do have an apache book right here. an old one, but one nonetheless. i'm going to work on this tonight. ack. i just realized i'm 2 chapters behind in reading for statistics! i have to do the homework tonight, and read the 2 chapters tommorrow! hopefully i'll get to start seeing about installing educommons tommorrow as well. but, i'd like to rest too. i'm exhausted, but..

... well, i'm thinking about what is happening some place, and for some reason i'm having feelings about it. i was going to write a post about it all tonight, but i'd rather wait till the night is over, and hopefully write something very reflective about it tommorrow. tonight i'm just going to relax and acknowledge i'm having feelings and attempt to really geek out instead.
gotta call teens.

that said. i'd better get on 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.
