OCD

maybe i was an editing minor because i'm ocd about consistency, or maybe i'm ocd about consistency because i was an editing minor. we'll never know, but what really matters is that I'M REALLY, REALLY OCD ABOUT THINGS BEING CONSISTENT.

this is why i don't ever use caps in this blog (except when i want to; see above). i couldn't switch to using normal caps now after two years of writing without them--it would drive me crazy. it would make me want to go back and change all the old posts to having caps. which i will not do. which is why i will not change to using caps. done.

anyways, i've spent an inordinate amount of time today trying to make my moodle site (ncsu's equivalent to blackboard) and assignment sheets all have the exact same formatting, wording, and referencing.

i can promise you that not one freshman will notice if i refer to it as "peer-reviewed copies" on one page and as "rough drafts reviewed by your peers" on another, or if the header is on one as "Purpose:" and on another as "The purpose of this assignment is:"--but i can't let it go.

oh well, i'm over it. (by which i mean, i'm over the fact that i'm not over it. and i'm going to keep ruthlessly editing those ridiculous assignment sheets till they're dang perfect and all the same or i'll die.)

oh, but it feels good to have made some progress on planning my class! (you know, that COLLEGE CLASS i'm teaching IN A FEW WEEKS? yep, no. big. deal.)
