Sunday, 28 October 07 :: back.. and awake

i slept most of the day yesterday.. now i'm back from AECT. it was so worth the money i spent to go, it was worth the time away, it was worth getting up at 3.30 to go.

on my desktop i have notes from a variety of different presentations i attended - i got new ideas from most of them. i got to connect with someone who knows about reciprocal mentoring and hear that our study will lend something to the literature. i got to meet a friend of my chair who said that hitting the wall in the 2nd year is just par for the course. i got to inspire myself into pursuing my own research interests along with what we are doing in the research group. i'm excited, and i now see the draw to this conference. yep - i'll be in orlando next year - for more reasons than just getting to see my beloved aunt.

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.
