Loose guidelines

As on all previous assignments, the instructor met the deadline with a “how’d it go? Need more time? Just keep working on it; I won’t get to grading for several more days”. Which I believe; he still hasn’t graded the assignment from the 18th.

So I won’t say that I was counting on this extension, but I was kind of expecting it. The rule following part of my is frustrated by this loose treatment of due dates; the perfectionist in me is super happy, and the part of me that just wants to get some sleep is rather perturbed. I mean – done or not, can’t it at least be over??

There is 1 remaining critical issue, and it’s pretty dang intractable. I have no idea what to try next.

1 issue that I figured out today, which turned out to be a super stupid 1-line snafu at the very beginning of the style sheet.

And 5 remaining issues that are critical to me, but don’t really break the page. If I’m trying to make it look like the target page, they’re important. If I just want it to be quasi-functional, they don’t matter.

So I’m still working on this project, but now with a looming but unknowable deadline.

This adult education thing has some serious drawbacks.
