Friday, 2 June 06 :: i'm over it.

the rain.

its been raining too much lately. we get teased with sun and i think -- hey! fuck! i can go ride my bike to work with my laptop and not worry about it! yeehaww! but no, then we get slammed with days of rain, and frankly, i'm sick of it.

i've got way to much heartbreaking stuff going on to be stuck in the rain right now. i've got to call greenhill today about taking 2 of my beloved cats, i have to fucking leave eugene so that i take a gamble about securing a financially secure future for myself, it seems like i have to choose between 2 things that i want to do equally as much. all i want is to be able to ride my bike and enjoy one last lovely eugene spring. but no. fucking mother nature has it out for me, bound and determined to make me as miserable as possible.

i've been here for 7.5 years. i love the rain. i hate it when -- in the middle of winter it gets sunny and stays sunny longer than a few days. we NEED the rain here in eugene. but this is ridiculous. we also need the sun. okay, maybe not WE, but I, i need the sun.

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.
