How on earth does one make Shakespeare appeal to high schoolers?

I’m Hearing: Stabbing Westward – So Far Away

We watched William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet this morning in Typography class. Seems odd, ne? Well, we were all assigned a Shakespeare play, and we’re supposed to design a textbook layout for that text which would appeal to high school students. Sheesh. I have my work cut out for me. At least I got The Taming of the Shrew so it gives me an excuse to watch Ten Things I Hate About You over and over. :-D

I took a nap this afternoon before work, and it made me quite groggy. After work I went home for supper cuz Mom was baking…it was delicious. :9

I spent the whole evening working on the layout for my Design project. It’s unnecessarily complex, but the design appeals to me so I’m going to stick with it. I still have to write a huge design proposal for my Shakespeare book too, by Thursday. I’m too tired to bother with anything else tonight, though, so it’ll have to wait till tomorrow. Sigh. All I feel like doing lately is sleeping because I spend so much time just sitting in front of one computer or another all day long everyday. At least I just have painting class tomorrow before work, so it shouldn’t be too terrible.

Not a whole lot else to report. My head was once again floating in the clouds today………..
