Es-Ge

Dear blog,

So here's the deal. The Student organization, with the blessings from teachers, is having a big party dubbed SMASA GENERATION XV. The "XV" indicates that this is the 15th time the festival has taken place. It is held in celebration of the school's (56th) anniversarry. The 3 month festival consist of events such as contest, open dialogue, academic tournaments, and social work. It is basically a PR stunt. The school just wants to receive attention by helding this vaganza.

The problem about the "Es-Ge" is that it sucks. To me anyway. Each extracurricullar group is having their own event and the organizing committee is basically the first years. Isn't that good that the first years are learning to be an Event Organizer? The first years learn to beg money from society and sponsors as a preparation for when they're an EO themselves in later life? No. That's why it suxx. The juniors or the fresh mens have no idea what to do! For the event to be carried out smoothly it takes massive funding. And this year's budget is almost equivalent to 1o Macbook Air. And how the hell are a bunch of Indonesian high school students attain such funds?

A solution I had, which has been received favourably, was that SMASA GENERATION should be carried out entirely by the year 11s. The year 10s acts as the observants and the year 12s as the advisors. Therefore we (the year 10s) are prepared when its our time to take control as the Event Organizer for the next SMASA GENERATION. 

Another thing that sucks is the product placement vandalising the school. Some students were able to gain sponsorship deals and what we get was just tents....

The only thing positive about this was that my friends and her gang set up this cafe....

Look at the pics from the opening ceremony...
