Thursday, 3 August 06 :: and more.

i'm trying to ground before i write a couple of paragraphs about projects that i'm going to propose that i work on here at the lab i'm working in. i've been on sort of an adrenaline rush since this morning after my conversation with the fellow who runs the lab. i'm very excited about what it looks like i could do, and after a couple of conversations with friends, i'm even more excited. i think. i have 2 books sitting here that i have to read. ha! (maybe i shouldn't have asked?!?)

anyhow. after the conversation today, i know i ended up in the right place. for those of you who may have played along a year ago, i wrote, maybe, some about georgia (it was my first choice). when i didn't get in, i was sad, for about 24 hours. when i put it all in perspective it was all good, and now that i'm here, i know its even better. if i'd gotten into georgia i may not have come here to check this out. glad i did. hmm. i guess there's a lesson there, eh? there's always a lesson. ya gotta really read the whole book? hmm. i don't like that one. nonetheless. i'm happy i'm here.

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.
