Ah, crap.
Why do I have to be so ambitious? Why, god, why? Or rather, why can’t I leave things “as is”? Because I have just enough perfectionism in me… errrg. How annoying. So, yea, now that I’ve redone English 110 with fewer visual units, I think I may have to do the same to English 120. That syllabus and eCompanion/eCollege shell just doesn’t look as nice now. DANG IT! Luckily, time is on my side. We start late this year, so I do have two weeks to redo this course and look at English 105/FYE 192. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll only take me 2-3 days like English 110 did.
*crosses fingers*
*knocks on wood*
Just focus on the benefits, Sybil. You’ll have shiny, well-organized shells and syllabi that make even more sense than before. Students will cheer over the added fun mini-argumentative essays… the online students will be on the same schedule as the on-campus ones… harmony will become a part of your life! Oh, jeez, I can hope.

No no no, you are just a perfectionist. I’m ambitious but not a perfectionist. It sounds like your perfectionism is self directed. Making you a good very teacher, if you can hold on to your sanity.
Sanity… what’s that?

I am somewhat of a perfectionist… yet this latest issue (as described above) popped up because one class looks great and the other didn’t. I am all about balance… both classes should be great and be outlined as such. So, yea.
