Monday, 12 November 07 :: disappointing.

i went away to baltimore and how lucky did i get? uncle chas is there, along with his brother. my ma is there too. now, it was nice to see my ma, but it was my uncle chas and his brother that gave me that sense that i get to get whenever i leave this place: i am not the only person who exists who questions the status quo. i am not the only one standing up and demanding that things get better when others are sitting back, benefiting from the risks we take and taking distance when the risks we take don't pay off. for 2 days i didn't feel like my skin was rubbing against me, i felt comfortable in my skin.

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.
