Saturday, 26 August 06 :: agh. organizing, academia style.

oh holy fuck. student government organizing is happening. and i don't like the tone of a couple of the emails i got. i sent, what i hope, are very well thought responses to my objections to the tone. i also sent an email to bbpd, who is the advisor to the student government group, about how i think the meeting should be run.

fuck. i will only get involved in leadership there if bbpd thinks it'll look good on my resume. otherwise, i'm rather burned out on organizing and all that stuff. i love my friends who are doing it but i'm tired of it. been there, done that, didn't move to logan, utah to do it more.

*agh*

that said. i easily get wrapped up in drama. organizing drama is some of my most VERY favourite. seriously. and i'm going to the meeting on thursday.

blagh.

repeat. i will just sit and listen to the meeting. i will just listen to the meeting. i will just listen to the meeting. and if someone says something idiotic, i will not say anything. no, i will not tell them they are an idiot.

wash, rinse and repeat.. as many times as necessary.

off to read a couple of books. i am so not used to reading this much. seriously. i hope i get used to doing this much reading, soon. very soon.

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.
