Tuesday, 13 June 06 :: quiet

i'm quiet these days. not because i'm not busy, but because i don't have a lot to say in this space.

i'm spending a lot of time at work and around work (graduations, retirement parties, going away parties). we're busily getting ready for our end of year trips, i - in particular - am getting ready for a 5 day river trip on the deschutes. yep -- i'm very excited about the trip. jazzed about being able to spend this kind of time with the teens and adults. and it simply looks beautiful.

i'm also packing. i know it seems like its far off, but its not as far off as it may seem. i'm doing a little bit at a time so that i don't have this big cram at the end. i don't like big uncontrolled crams at the end of things.

i'm also writing technology plans, and i'll probably write a grant or two before i get to utah. good stuff. good experience.

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.
