Unraveling my Yellow Tape: The Ordinary Ride that Turned Extraordinary
http://brookeef.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-ordinary-ride-that-turned.html
An ongoing diary of my quest to find my biological relatives, at age 35, and as a single mom. Saturday, October 25, 2014. The Ordinary Ride that Turned Extraordinary. The other morning, we were in merging in traffic on the freeway in Charlotte, which as usual, is under construction, and as usual, there was someone who failed to let me in. Obviously, I made it, but not without some teeth grinding and growling. What happened next changed everything. They do have feelings! She didn't pause to think whether ...

Musings of an expat grad student. oy vey. Tuesday, October 25, 2005. I tried to write a blog entry about honesty and censorship, like I promised, but my brain is screaming for a rest, I think, and the words won't come out in any sensible order. My thoughts are still a bit nebulous, and fuzzy thinking does not a great blog entry make. Instead, I will save the heavy stuff for another day, and welcome elisabeth to the blog. I wish I could understand your blog, but I love your pictures! But a certain photo o...

Musings of an expat grad student. oy vey. Monday, June 05, 2006. I guess this isn't quite so much an angry feminist post as a tired and head-whirling one. Thanks, Otto. For giving me the impetus to post it. :). I've been reading a lot of really fascinating blogs lately. Feministe. But I stop short of commenting, because I'm so afraid that I'll offend someone. And that's the last thing I want to do. Therefore, I think that I'll continue to do what I'm doing: I'll just read, and listen to what people have ...

Musings of an expat grad student. oy vey. Tuesday, August 30, 2005. S husband has lost his battle with cancer. There are no words that could possibly express my sorrow for her and her son. Poetry will have to suffice:. After great pain, a formal feeling comes-. The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs-. The stiff Heart questions was it He, that bore,. And Yesterday, or Centuries before? The Feet, mechanical, go round-. Of Ground, or Air, or Ought-. A Quartz contentment, like a stone-. They're like notches ...

Musings of an expat grad student. oy vey. Sunday, January 01, 2006. So I, uh, seem to have left the blog to simmer for a while. Not sure why I did that. I think that all the writing and reading I've been doing for school have managed to squeeze all the bloggy energy out of me, but now that I've spent a week doing absolutely nothing of value for my PhD, I'm recharged and ready to blog again. I LOVE your blog! I hope the holidays have been equally kind to all of you. Happy 2006, everyone! I'm a grad studen...

Musings of an expat grad student. oy vey. Monday, March 20, 2006. Yeah, so I suck at blogging. I think I have a little bit of stage fright, which makes no sense because I don't have stage fright in real life. But when the words I write are basically written in stone forevermore (read: Google-cached), I tend to seize up. After all, when I'm a famous novelist. I slacked off far too much in the fall, I think, and I'm paying for it now. Posted by Lonely Londoner at 1:20 AM. London, United Kingdom. I'm a grad...

Musings of an expat grad student. oy vey. Thursday, September 29, 2005. First of all, thanks, yall, for the congrats on my MA dissertation submission. You made me all smiley. :). I think sometimes that I'm somewhat self-defeating, at least mentally if not materially. For instance, tonight I spent an hour reading Invisible Adjunct's blog. How much does teaching matter? How much does it matter that I'll still be in my mid-twenties when I start my job search? How much does it matter - like, really. However,...

Musings of an expat grad student. oy vey. Thursday, July 28, 2005. I was supposed to go to the library today, but decided at the last minute that my time would be better spent at home, checking my email and updating my blog. I think sometimes that my decision-maker is broken. It's weird, isn't it, that research is always such a daunting task? Even when it's something you love? And here I am, writing this and procrastinating. It's all recursive. Surely there's a lesson in there somewhere? I play Dungeons ...
