Class pages. Uh.
Something Interesting has not happened today.
But here's something.
Our group of five were out in front of the class, doing our oral presentation. Boy #1 at the back of the classroom cut this large hole right in the middle of a huge piece of newspaper. Then he aligned that thing right in front of his crotch. Boy #2 then proceeded to put his large, red, long water bottle right through the hole. He was even wagging it slightly, which makes it all the more sickening/disturbing.
Boy #2 is pretty much that sick all the time, and that act may even be a little subtle for him, but Boy #1?
*Shakes head.
I spent an hour last night thinking up captions for my classmates, y'know, for the class page. Then I continued while watching Desperate Housewives.
And today, someone told me that they were too long, and I had to write new, shorter ones. Meaning, one PHRASE for each person.
I didn't write all that long. Honest. They just wanted their photos to be larger.
So then a bunch of us argued that our photos would still be large enough with the proper captions. But nope, people wanted HUGE photos.
So many classes have proper captions and still be able to have good-size photographs. We don't need them to be oversized, really.
Someone then commented that if the other classmates read the captions we have, they would probably change their minds. I think, maybe they had the idea that when we ask "longer or shorter captions", they think "longer" meant something like "This boy is so very funny. He's the one that keeps everybody laughing all the time. His jokes are hilarious." or something to that effect. Humourless and boring la.
It obviously isn't like that.
I used to, and still do actually, judge a class page by its design, and its captions. The funnier they are, themore I'd love the page. And with short, phrase-like captions, it'd most probably be Bloody Boring.
Still, Guy-Who-Now-Handles-The-Pages says that only the bunch of us at the back think longer captions are better.
Well, too bad for us. I just hope it all turns out right.
Anyway, I realized how bad I am at putting my ideas into words when I talk. Like the class page theme and design, for example. We were discussing about it in class, and I had this idea of doing it *this* way, I had the entire thing pictured in my head, but I also had a hard time trying to describe and make others see what I was talking about. But they did finally understood, and decided to go with the idea.
And the captions, too. People thought that with longer captions, the pages would look cramped and messy and ultimately, very ugly. Obviously, 'till now, I still have trouble trying to have them see that the captions could be put in without making the page look cramped. I talked and I described and I drew, yeah, but didn't quite work.
A night of hardwork, say bye-bye.
Another night of hard work, say hello.
