Friday, 18 August 06 :: its my life.. yes, its my liffe (lines from a song, it can be sung)

so. its been a long emotional week.. seriously. yeah, but its me, so aren't most weeks at least emotional? goddess yes.

big bad prof dude (bbpd)* has totally suprised me, and my reaction to his suprise has surprised me too. interesting. anyhow, i fear he'll be disappointed when we meet next week, and that brings me sadness. but, hopefully he'll understand and i can take a deep breath and life will move on. and classes will start and my life will be.

*sigh*

anyhow.

piled higher and deeper: the comic. i can officially make fun of myself. afterall, i'm watching buffy, browsing the net, and making jello to put off reading. 40 more pages and i'm done with 'eat data.' oh yeah, thats a real up beat book i tell ya. fucker. damnit. it'll be nice to meet with bbpd* on friday afternoon to talk about work, but in case i have last minute questions about classes i can toss them at him.

*note. okay, bbpd (big bad professor dude) is not a big ol bad guy, but rather he is a young geeky prodigy prof dude (ygppd). honestly, though, the bbpd description entertains me. and it really is all about entertaining ME, not my readers, ME. and afterall, when we meet next week and he realizes how LITTLE content i've gotten (read NONE) he may just turn into bbpd (i hope not, really and truly, i hope not). *sigh*

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.
