Every one remember to add you name to the mailing list, if oyu want...
Sorry i havent been posting much, i promise i will once i get out of the school day (only math left!). Yea so this post is about filmmaking which i had for the first half and integrated computer applications for the second half. here we go WHHHHHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
7th Period
Filmmaking was without a doubt my favorite class of the day. Sooooo laid back. I really waso nly friends with 2 kids in hte class but i dont think i owuld have wanted to be friends with anyone else. The problem with this class was there were, for lakc of a better term"punk-rock hippie freshman" they thought they were non-conformist with their weird clothing, and stupid inside jokes, and stupid musical taste. Suprise Suprise girls, when you all wear the same thing oyur anything but non-conformist, you are a conformist. i will get into all this in another post. Seriously these girls were so annoying though. Their voices especially, your in 9th grade, either grow or go back to JW. Now a lot of you are going "nick stark is telling someone their too small and annoying?" yes i am, becuasei have accepted that i am small and annoying and i cannot stand myself anymore than i can stand these stupid little hippies. Go eat some whole grain tofu and jelly sandwiches you wanna-be's.THey also often refer to themselves as "jersey girls" as a if they hsould be proud of it.
like that ^^^^
These strange zombies seem to be taking over, and the wierdest hting is thta i always see them wearing the same lcothes, lke one punk rock girl in my science class will wear those black and pink zippery pants and then a completely different hippe punk girl is wearing the same brand of pants, dont you find that wierd? that more than one person in our school is stupid enough to wear something that ugly and wear them while being completely serious about it. Strange race they are. The worst were these girls laugh,it was like a ginuea pig on acid. Most annoying thing ever. Whenever peter and i were working the girls would always ask us to move over when there was no room whatso ever. And whenever we would ask them to move they would have literally two feet between them and be sharing a ocmputer and they would do this pathetic chair scoot. and move close to 2 inches. they owuld then resume working on their project as peter and i exchanged "what the fuck" glances. While these girls are insanely annoying filmmaking was one of the best classes ive taken yet in phs. For once reason: awesome teacher. If you've ever watched the show House on Fox (good show) my teacher is exactly like that. Except, you know, not a doctor. His strange sense of "wait is he serious" humour leads to hours of enjoyable conversation and making fun of stupid kids. The class itself it quite underdeveloped. The subject bounces around a bit. You get a decent grip of the software and techniques, but we never really went in depth in any aspect of filmmaking for a half year course, we jsut skimmed the surface of multiple subjects. IE: editing, types of shots, equipment, etc. But overall its a nice class. I would have liked to rather than spend our half year oding 3 mini projects, doing one or maybe 2 longer movies. and have really good plots and things like that. Spend some time on it. The otherp roblem was we used macs, eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww, ill have another post on computers later on.
I hate writing posts when i have nothing to write about. im usually inspired by the class that day, (and i osmetimes take notes on things that realllllly piss me off) right now im losing inspiration so ill move on to intergrated copmuter applications . Ill only be talking about something that REALLY bothered me today in that class after i give a quick overview.
This class is a joke. NEVER take this unless you want to feel like killing youself for an hour everyday. or in my case adding another hour on. We usually spend all hour learning ot one thing that ive foudn i can figure out in literally the last minute of class. It's sad. I'm surrounded by slackers. When i chose the course alli had to hear was the words omcputer in the title andi joined. i though i would be surrounded by peers willing ot learn instead i was tragically mistaken and was greeted with a group of duds. Dont get me wrong theres a few kids that i like and ive even made a friend. But the class is also filled with assholes which brings me to tonights hate message. I HATE KIDS WHO MAKE FUN OF RETARDED PEOPLE. especially to their face. Today i witnessed something that stuck in my mind for the rest of the day. When i first entered the class i was first greeted by a cheery face. a fellow student will a mental handicap. Today i recoiled in horror as a ghetto kid made fun of her to her face. Supposedly the girl had stepped on his foot during their job at a supermarket the other day. I am unaware if the ghetto kid is as well mentally handicapped. But recently ive seen the error in my ways and i have stopped referring to idiots as "retards" or reffering to anything stupid as "retarded". This just isnt nice, i have found many different ways to insult people without being condescending to mentally handicapped people. Though i have sadly caught myself many a time before inserting retard into an insult. Whether or not if the ghetto boy is handicapped that wasn no way for anyone to react to someone, if i can recall "steppin' on ma shoe and givin' me dis look, yo" He then procceded to engage in a insult war with the girl. It was an unfair fight. Shes a kind-hearted girl. and he's a douchebag. of course hes gonna make low blows. The one thing that really got me was how i didn't do anything. reflecting back now i really feel stupid for not breaking up the verbal fight. i actually feel really bad. if they do spark up another fight i will try to resolve it. I dont want to see the girl cry again. I did try and comfort her and after class she told me she would be ok. but no one likes crying in school. i cannot judge anyone harder than myself but another aspect of this fight that hit me hard was how everyone else laughed. While i dont know exactly what it feels like to be attacked like that. I have a really close idea of what it feels like. For me it ends up with me lying in bed not being able to sleep wondering "why would they say something like that" for usually a few hours as i rethought the situation and reflected upon some possible comebacks or ways the conflict could have been diverted had i handled the situation better. Life is full of regrets, today i had a big one. not helping a friend in her time of need.
