Wednesday, 14 February 07 :: dreams

i wear a necklace that says 'dream' - its one of my favourite pieces of jewlry i've ever owned.

last night i dreamt vivid dreams. i dreamt that i was going to school in england, rather than in the united states. i dreamt that i had taken a course at a school in canada before going over to england. i dreamt that i travelled down to austin, and started to live there, rather than in logan. i guess you could say that i dreamt that i was anywhere but here.

when i woke up this morning i'd forgotten what my purpose was. i'd forgotten why i was here and what was up today. and then it kicked in, i've got class.

i guess my enthusiasm for living in logan is waning. while there are many gifts here for me, in my time in eugene i came to love it there, even on difficult days. i seem to belabour this point over and over and over - i'm a pacific northwesterner. eugene is a nice little enclave for someone with my beliefs about how life should be lived and about how the world should be run. when in eugene i often complained that i didn't like the homogeneity of the place, but, now living in another very homogeneous place, i think i'd rather live in where i am like everyone else, rather than at the other end of the spectrum.

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.
