Thursday, 17 August 06 :: quiet

i got to go on a long walk with someone today. it was nice to have an open and honest conversation with them about my life as me and my life as a phd student. today was simply a rotten day, really.. and now after that walk and that conversation, the world seems quiet. yeah. as i was riding my bike home, thats what i experienced.. all the noise in my head was gone and the outside noise just didn't get in as much as it normally does. it's a nice feeling, and it meant a lot to me that they took this time out for me. thank you so much.

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.
