Friday, 19 January 07 :: winter in utah bites

just a quick, complainy, entry: winter in utah bites. i've now been in my office for 1/2 hour and my legs are still thawing out from my 15 minute (with a detour through the student center) walk up the hill to my building. if its gonna be this cold, could we at least have some snow? okay, thats a lie - could we have enough snow so that I could go x-country ski behind the hyper during lunch? at least today it was a whopping 6 by the time i got to my office, instead of -2 like yesterday. (that would be farenheit, NOT celcius) :P

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.
