Tuesday, 18 April 06 :: waiting.

i'm waiting for my laptop to be delivered. it has 30 minutes to be delievered, or else it has to wait till 1.45. i've got to go to class. i thought about skipping class, and going to the session the sweet little ta's ta does on wednesdays at 1, but i figured that waiting for my laptop wasn't a good enough reason to skip class and burden the sweet young fellow. and, really, skipping class because i'm waiting for my laptop, that i can pick up TOMMORROW, is not a good way to re-start my schooling career. death of a family member, being terribly sick, my car breaking down (yeah, cross fingers THAT never happens), a sick cat -- those are good reasons, but waiting for my laptop - oh crap no.

----

a conversation between me and max:
me: hiya maxie.
max: grrrrr.
me: sweet cat.
max: grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
me: yep, the sweetest cat in the whole neighbourhood -- right here. yep. good thing you're cute, eh?
max: grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

didn't get to sleep till too late last night. :P but i'm up and chipper this morning. i've read the stats chapter, mostly cleaned my kitchen -- so i can have juice in the morning, and fretted about the computer coming. i've had coffee, emergen'c and iron and am listening to 'the best of sheryl crow'. yeah, the iron totally fucks with my stomach. crap if i dind't need it so much i wouldn't take it. but i need it, so i take it. i'll put something in my belly before i ride off to class.

it'll be a nice day for a bike ride. its wonderfully sunny outside. gotta love that. i may be late to class. gonna wait as long as possible for the laptop. 25 minutes to get to class. hopefully that'll be long enough. working at home this afternoon.

on that note. gonna go scrounge something to eat. in the kinda clean kitchen.

cancer sucks

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.
