i don't understand

today, i had my collage class for the first time since school has started. the first time, the teacher cancelled. the second time, i just didn't show up. my excuse: purim. anyways, the class is not what i expected. i thought we were going to do something similar to what people do in camp: draw, paint and glue things to pieces of paper and call it art. how sacrilegious am i? nope. he, gil, wants us to think REALLY REALLY outside the box. think installation and performance art combined with paper-ish products. okay, what? the topic for the next three weeks is crime scene. again, what?? i teamed up with avi and we got a-working. we plan on subverting the crime scene into something banal and absurd. should be interesting, yes? since avi does set building at his art school, we're going to use that to our advantage. woot. today, i imitated a dead person on the ground so avi could trace my outline with masking tape. during the process, he asked me to pose in different positions and took pictures of those. the things i do for art. anyways, while i was laying on the ground, this janitor person walks by and starts talking dirty, saying how sexy i looked on the ground. avi and i are giving each other the "wtf" looks and we start laughing. the janitor thought avi tickled me so he said something along the lines of "ooh... sexy and ticklish..." this made me feel so uncomfortable, especially since i was on the ground. besides that, i have high hopes for this project! it's exciting. :D

later on, i had my documentary photo class. the quality of the work in this class sucks. i am by no means a great photographer who produces awesome prints but c'mon! the teacher makes my blood boil. he is a hypocritical jerk. he says he wants to broaden the boundaries of what documentary photo means and criticizes how the students nowadays are self-absorbed. he is one of those teachers who wants the students to do it his way or it isn't good at all. he wants people to document the israeli-arab/palestinian conflict yet he only wants the israeli point of view. i don't get it. i'm more and more inclined to believe every day that i'm here that the arabs are unfairly treated. i don't know what else i wanted to write but i'm beginning to miss the american way of teaching and support.
