Monday, 25 September 06 :: well, that would be a kick in the stomach.

On KLCC this morning: "We have support from Charles Gray and Sylvia Hart, they listen and .... "

agh. I would think that would be hard for people who know Charles to hear. That great activist died this summer of bone cancer. Btw, I didn't know Charles well, in fact I don't think he ever knew my name, but I knew his. He was a great peace and justice activist in Eugene who taught many of the people I was fortunate enough to work with. Godspeed Charles Gray, thank you for coming before me and leaving the legacy you did. I wouldn't be where I am in life today without the lessons you taught to those who taught me.

I didn't go into work this morning like I have every other Monday I've been in Logan. I decided to be super duper lazy. After 1.5 hours of farting around I'm now going to go curl up with a cup of Celestial Seasons Morning Detox Tea, the rest of the carrot apple juice I made this weekend, and my Ed Research book to study for tommorrow's quiz. Fun times.

oh. and one last note. If you have prayers to spare, please say them for the thomas team. While Christi left nearly a week ago, their struggle has really only begun. As with any mother who's child has just died, Christi's sweet mother is struggling. Pray that she is able to return to her classroom soon.

cancer sucks

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.
