Ugh. So annoyed.
We're supposed to make a poster or a brochure for French for a french-speaking place to go on vacation to. (incidentally sarah and I both picked morocco, but that's besides the point;P)
The point is that we don't have any more class time to work on it tomorrow or Friday (when they're due) and she won't let me start over on a non-digital one.
It might look even better than one you could crank out in MS publisher ;_;;; AND THAT MAKES ME SO ANGRY. The computers in the school library (she's the librarian also) are CRAP. They're stuffed windows 2000 on them ('designed for win95!') and with publisher and just four IE windows (babelfish, google images search x3) it started where it would freeze when I would type *TWO* words. Literally.
So I ask Mrs. Cioppa if I could do it by hand on paper, print out some images and glue them on. and she says 'Oh no, I think you could do it on the computer'
'but you didn't say it had to be'
'I'm saying it now'
;_________________________________________;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
When does she expect me to finish a friggin' brochure. During the class time we won't have? In the last twenty minutes of class? (when I hadn't written anything since I had been fiddling with the one image I had put on it.) At home? Where I don't have a way to take it with me? Much less publisher to open it in?
Don't get me wrong. It should be obvious that I am not inept with computers. But I was crying in the library there. I don't know whether I want to cry or scream right now-_-
Luckily she never said anything about a poster having to be digital. So I grabbed a piece of paper from the art room and I have an idea for a collage for it, but that would be way more work than just drawing lines and glueing pictures and writing pretty. At least if I wanted it to look good.
I hate how the school treats technology. I'm proud that I used open source for that art contest picture. (<3gimp(In math, there was a question about a gnu some chick took a picture of ('if it's 4.3 feet tall and she's five feet away, and the film is one inch from the camera lens, then how tall is it on the film!!111 0.86 inches!') and people were asking Mr. Cato what a gnu was. I said GNU's Not Unix several times^_^ mostly because blake was trying to make me say 'guh-new' though))
I hate how the mouses suck, and people put their mice on random speed settings (whoa! I moved it one inch and it's on the other side of the screen!), how we have to use Microsoft products every time you turn around (we did use some Corel stuff back in eighth grade, but that was a long time ago^_^), I hate how people that just use them to play games and look at trucks and pr0n on the net have all the unnecessary things disabled and tons of sites blocked (they already got to lj;_; but not snowy-day or slashdot^_^. I wonder about gmail)
I love how Mrs. Jones doesn't care if she leaves her computer logged on and if I need it to 'look up reference images' (or run/calc for math>:D) though.
It annoys me that the people in E.A.S.T. are all stuck up (mrs. bewley included). At least the people in MTA have a sense of humor to know l33t and set the test passwords to stuff like '99redballoons'. The people are in e.a.s.t. only care about conventions, making 'neat effectz!~' and griping that they have to use a mac (;_;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; *jealous*)
But really. They brag about it all the time. "oh, we could use windows movie maker! Oh, could we make a 3-d model? Oh, I can make a song clip for this!"
anyways. school+technology doesn't mix. I wish I could just take a laptop and my tablet anytime we have to use them. (Suddenly I'm glad that the only classes I've used them in have been english (mostly at home)
anyways. I get to choose between faking a brochure in psp or drawing a poster.
I'm leaning towards the poster.
