Saturday, 24 March 07 :: spring has arrived.

i'm in the library right now, but not after spending 2 hours walking along the logan river, up the logan canyon, with my dear friend V, her dear friend A, and V's 4 children, all 4 of whom I simply adore. It was an unexpected and very good way to start the day, because, you see, spring has arrived here in Cache Valley, UT. (At least for the moment). The mountains are turning green, the weather is warm enough for chaco's, the air is clear (mostly).

sometimes this place is hard for me. it is very hard for me. i wonder why i'm in utah. but then i get to take an unexpected walk in the canyon with a dear friend, while working on making a new friend, and spending time with young friends, surrounded by some of the most amazing beauty sights, and it becomes easier. yes, the hard is relieved.

spring is here. yeah!

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.
