Friday, 25 August 06 :: it went well

my meeting with bbpd*, aka ygpd*, went better than expected. he and i are meeting with someone next friday about a possible project that i can start working on and it has all the factors i need --> an audience, and content for that audience. we'll see if it takes off, and if not them, i've got another meeting with someone else about another possible project later that day. i'm quite excited, though i'm looking forward to the high wearing off. oh, and he's my advisor / mentor. yep. i now have a major professor. this is good.

*for those of you who haven't been playing along, big bad professor dude, aka young geeky professor dude.

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.
