what is this a picture of? me, smiling as i got here to work on the first day of the 2007 - 2008 school year. why am i smiling? because it's the first day of course.. the first day is always an exciting day in any educational institution. not sure why, but it is. and even though i have a hellish semester ahead of me, it is still brings excitement.

why else am i similing? because with the start of the 07-08 year i am officially no longer a 1st year student, bumbling around not knowing anything. now i'm a 2nd year student who knows nearly nothing. notice the nearly, that means i must know something - not a lot, but something. it's a step.

on that note - all of this means that i have work to do, a lot, and class hasn't even started.

;-D

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.
