Tuesday, 15 August 06 :: wouldn't it be nice to be willow?

in one episode of buffy that i've seen recently, willow, when she was becoming 'bad willow' actually put her hands into books and literally sucked them dry, thusly getting all the knowledge they had to offer. isn't that cool??

anyhow. i'm reading a book called 'communities of practice'.. a very good book, very good book (i think the caffiene i just injested helped with that second 'very' statement), and i'm excited to read it.. i just wish it didn't take so LONG. i keep looking at the book thinking 'if ONLY i could be like willow.' what a nice happy fantasy, eh? :)

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.
