Monday, 10 April 06 :: tired

i'm absolutely exhausted, again. my problem is is that i stay up waaay to late and get up too early. last night it was my intention to be a lazy bum in bed and go to sleep early, around 11 or so.. but at 11 i started checking out costs for the move and then i realized how expensive it was going to be, and also honouring my own feelings about switching from pc to mac (i'm really a pc person) i started looking at different brands of pcs.. and and and. so i ended up falling asleep closer to 2 rather than 11. and i had to get up at 7.30. *sigh* this is a common occurance in my home. so, i must do something to deal with this, and simply say no when i get these crazy urges late at night. though i will admit, i did find out quite a bit about how expensive this move is going to be. if it weren't for my mattress and my beloved papasan i'd be able to do the move a lot cheaper.. but since i've got those things, *sigh*.. its just going to be expensive, and i simply don't know what i can afford and what i can't. i also found out what is out on the pc market, and i'm currently debating between a dell and a sony vaio (btw, i've got family help to buy this laptop -- thats how i can afford it). i love dell, but i have a friend who's had crappy luck with them, and those vaios are awfully pretty, and it has everything the mac has except for the mac processor. so, we'll see. i don't have to make the decision right now.. in a few days. i'll call my dad and get his thoughts on vaios.

i've also discovered that my body really does hate sugar. the short time i went off it it loved it.. and now that i'm back on it i'm hating it.. so, really, i think its better if i stay off it. and i realized my body also loves emergen'c. i need to be taking at least one packet a day. before i quit i rarely got sick, and now i find myself getting sick all the time.

and i realized i've got a lot on my plate right now. LEAD, class, this move, my friends, my family, this move, my cats, finding new homes for 2 of them, hon, the inevitable heart break of leaving 2 of my cats here and all my friends here, reading for usu, this move. its a lot. while i'm not going to drop any of it, because this is what life is going to be like in logan, i need to find strategies to deal with it all. one more thing to add to the list.

and on that note, i'm going to the office. i've got about 50 minutes to enjoy it all to myself.

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.
