Sunday, 21 October 07 :: my weekend

yes - i am alive. i've not posted anything of interest because there isn't anything of interest going on in my life. i spent last week decidedly uninspired by what i'm doing here in utah. it was bad, really really really bad. i threw a fit one day in my office - when no one else was around - because of my frustration. really, all last week the only place i wanted to be was the dojo (dojo = karate studio) because i've now learned one whole staff kata, and am working on a 2nd. staff kata = much better than school.

so, this is how i spent my weekend. me and my codependent cats being very very lazy.
lazy ava and max

i'm feeling a bit better about things. i'm feeling a bit more inspired. maybe its just because, yes - i AM looking forward to my 60 hours in warm southern california. goddess willing i *will* get to dip my feet in the pacific ocean.

*note* the stats book - i only pulled out today, and got through 30 of the 50 pages due to be read by wednesday. only 30 pages? pick up cohen et. al, you'll see how dense that stuff is. v v dense.

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.
