It's spring break and I am working on the last half of the semester. This is where it becomes prudent to set realistic goals. Won't get through everything. So, be careful not to overshoot the target. That said, there are a couple of twists that need extra work to pull off. I need to get the online week together. In fact, as much content I can generate this week, the better. Review the coursepak, set up the review questions, revise lectures, anticipate quizzes, projects and final test. It feels almost like too much, overwhelming. Focus on one step at a time while keeping in mind the whole.

I am pleased with the current direction of the course. I am glad to leave the first unit behind, and personally feel fresh energy toward digging into the next unit. This is a little different from how I have structured the course in the past (I have used this material before, mostly, but not as a unit). I like how it seems to jell as a unit. All this being said, I am overwhelmed with getting everything ready and organized and read to go. I am just getting my prep ready for the next day's class as opposed to my usually one week ahead of time. My head is above water, but just barely, which is not a comfortable feeling for me. Hopefully a couple of focused work sessions will gain me some ground.
