Saturday, 14 July 07 :: busy day.

well, sort of. and i'm still up.

met about coding for observation data. and methodology for reciprocal mentoring article.
futzed around and connected with friends in the old lab.
spent a long time talking about a variety of things with new official major professor. (aka vtpd - very tall professor dude)*
went to bear lake with friend s.
uploaded reciprocal mentoring lit review articles into the wiki.
coded methodology of 4 more reciprocal mentoring lit review artices.
uploaded and organized ebls reflection papers and observations (yes, i got very very secretarial tonight).
i wrote up my program plan tonight. will get vtpd to look at it sometime next week.
emailed a friend of vtpd at va tech about presenting from a far about a couple of topics.
emailed all faculty about suggestions for other professors to present for our student group.
dad made reservations to be in logan at the end of august. due to a celebration of friend d becoming dr. d it looks like he'll get to meet the team i get to work with, and a bunch of other people from this academic world i inhabit. whooo hoo! he'll fit in perfectly, being the slightly neurotic retired academic that he is.

*yes, i have a new major professor. based on the group of folks i now work with. this is the 3rd one i've had. agh. i worry this one may not stick, something may happen just because i like to worry. but all signs are pointing to - this is the right decision. and while a 4th change could happen, that would only be a change to his major professor who started this group, who he works very closely with, so it wouldn't be a big deal (he already said that).

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.
