posting here a lot
i dunno why i'm posting here so much these days.. but i am. i guess its a connection to the outside world? or i'm lonely? or ? who knows.
my life has pretty much been centered around COSL and the work i'm doing there. i'm working on a project to put anti-oppression trainings online in an open courseware setting. i'm still working on the ins and outs, and today i was supposed to send a proposal to the city of eugene human rights commission, but when i got to work i felt a bit tired of working, but then i read an article that i had gotten on inter library loan and got stuck. it didn't help at all. i was planning on reporting to my prof that i'd sent this proposal on, but.. ick. so i'll send my stuckness on and i'm thinking he'll be fine with it.. but i don't like being stuck.
but i am having fun and tommorrow i'm headed down to near Salt Lake with a couple of my COSL collegues to hike near some caves. it'll be nice to get out of the valley (cache not willamette) and see another part of the state. i'm looking forward to it, i only wish i had a camera. *sigh*
my life is definetly centered around COSL and the folks i work with there. i feel very fortunate enough to have landed there for many reasons. its nice to be working with other ph.d. students and to have that support from them - and to support them. and everyone at COSL hangs out with everyone else, so its almost like a little family within the department. and then there's the professor who runs the lab.. he's on vacation, but he's on email as well and answering questions i have about classes and whether to go to AECT. i'll be asking him to be my advisor as soon as possible when he gets on vacation. being a part of COSL is going to make this PhD process a lot easier.
outside of COSL and the department i really don't have much of a life. i'm doing some biking, and watching buffy, and sunday i'll go to the UU church here in town. it'll be nice to meet other folks in logan. but i know that once classes get started i won't have time for much of a life. that and there are 2 conferences within the first 2 months of classes starting -- COSL's conference and then AECT. i wasn't going to go to AECT until my prof said he's never missed it. because he sees the importance, i'll go.
anyhow. buffy is on, and then i should read, and get to bed early because i'm meeting my collegues at 7am. hahahahahahahahahahaha. thats funny and early.
