Today was the final work period for the autobiography assignment. The main goal today in class was to have our peer editing sheet completed and up live on the web. I spent the period working on the final touches for my webpage and the end of the period editing my partner Govind's webpage. There was not much of a lesson today in class as Mr. Arkin gave us the time to complete our big assignment.
Unfortunately, Govind was not able to mark my page until 5pm afterschool. I had to leave for Kumon (math tutor) and art class afterschool and did not return home until 9pm. It was, in a way very stressful, because I still did not validate CSS, and I wasn't sure if Govind uploaded the peer marking sheet. When I checked, the CSS for the peer marking sheet did not show-up. I sent Mr. Arkin an email, but there was no reply. I had ONE HOUR until the deadline. Every ten minutes I would glance at the digital clock on the bottom right corner of my monitor. 9:30pm, 9:40pm, 9:50pm.... It was slowly moving towards the 10pm mark. After much struggle, I finally managed to complete my webpage up to minimal satisfaction and figured out the CSS problem. At that time, when I finished uploading my webpage, it was exactly 9:56pm with a few minutes to spare.
Overall, I am not completely satisfied with my webpage (I am such a perfectionist!) but I am glad I got it up on the web before 10pm. If not, even if I was 30secs late, the connection would break and my transfers would fail. Now, I cannnot do much except wait anxiously for the feedback.
