Tuesday, 15 August 06 :: its just an interesting disconnect

i just did a search on a member of my family, to track him down because i've not connected with him in 3.5 years. anyhow, its amazing what you find when you google someone. i'm happy they are who they are, and all.. but it really hit home how different my life is from theirs. the huge disconnect, it makes me realize why there hasn't been a big pull to stay in touch. our lives are very very different. i mean, thats a judgement and idea i have, so i'm happy to be proven wrong.. but thats the way i see it right now. hmm.

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.
