to make something

i think i became enrolled in what seemed like a class that would be a fun challenge. then we were told to work on our group project (which ended up having no structure...our basic instructions were to "make something") and i thought i didnt understand because i was not at the first two class meetings. here i am on my 3rd day in the class. and we are told to work in small groups of 4 or 5. being the extrovert, i wait for people to "fit me in" to their group. i meet up with 4 others and we discuss our small group project....which instructions are "to make something". i cannot deal with the abstract of the class. i need some sort of structure. i need something that is not vague. even though our class project is coming along, and our small group may be going somewhere, i have some fear going into the class. maybe it would be different if it were for an hour, but 3 hours, twice a week. i cant do that.

now its time for your thoughts.

my smaller group project is based around our reactions to outsourcing or the globalization of corporations. and we are all going to present the theme as a story/narrative that will flow from each piece of our own. (we all have defined factors, one guys is speed/velocity, one girl has self-portraiture, another guy has comic, mine hasnt been defined, but it will consist of the simplicity of life vs the complexity of life.)
so my thoughts are to have a story shown through a series of postcards, from a man who loses his job in middle america (to outsourcing) and he keeps writing postcards to his wife about his lack of finding jobs. each card will be from different cities. she writes back in the meantime telling him that he should just come back and make things work there. and then finally he finds his job in thailand, and it ends up being the same job he had back at home, and he realizes that it was meant for him.

i know its a huge mess right now. but i only have a month to convey these thoughts, make postcards, find good writers and put it up in a gallery at school.
