Course writing

I’ve been writing a Distance Education New Testament course since May.  

It’s August and I’m so close to being finished that I can almost taste it.  
Tonight Erika spent a much needed evening out with a friend.  While she was sipping coffee, I was combing through a textbook looking for juicy test questions.  
I had to find 20.  I was at number 18 when my wife pulled in the driveway.
Here’s what’ left to do before the course is complete:
Submit two exams (mid-term and final)
Upload the last 2 tests to my website
Compile videos, supplementary notes and the syllabus onto a DVD
Get the okay from the DE committee at the college that everything is good to go
Looks pretty simple, I know, but I’ve submitted enough already to know that there are always unforeseen issues that demand attention.
Here’s hoping I’m all finished by this time next week!
