Today I will be writing about a topic of my choice; magic. Recently I became interested in magic tricks, I have learned a few fundamental tricks which can be combined in many ways to create the illusion of magic. Before I came to western I was asked to teach a class for our local Rec Department, for the elementary students. I had to come up with the topic to teach and I sort of arbitrarily chose magic with a friend who will be my co-teacher. neither of us actually knew any magic so we have set out to learn some together to come back and teach a class and give back to the community.

Today I will be writing about some points I found quite intriguing in class. The first being how readers can have so many questions and writers have to be aware and prepared to answer any and all that can and will rise without any immediate feedback from readers. The foresight required to produce a quality piece is quite incredible, I hope that throughout this year I can acquire this talent. The second point I would like to bring us is when people read work and see different things than what the author intended. I believe that an author clearly showing a reader what they want them to see is probably the most difficult thing while producing writing. I am impressed with some of my classmates abilities to perform this task however.

Alright, this blog I am doing a topic of my choice which will be Happy's Pizza. Last night was the first night I was able to try some Happy's Pizza. I ordered off the web and was greeted with a multitude of options, since there were so many I had never tried on a pizza I decided that I would try something I have never done. I ordered a jalapeno cheese pizza at a pretty reasonable price and had it delivered straight to my dorm which was quite convenient. The pizza itself was absolutely amazing, I would try to describe it but there is no way I can do it justice. Since I cannot describe it all I can do is urge everyone to try it as soon as they can.

In class we discussed how we can tie different inferences together to begin to see a character or idea behind simple observations and small clues throughout different pieces. What is really interesting to me is that writers can craft entire characters, themes, and ideas, then convey them to readers without actually stating any of it. We also focused on elements that will allow our readers to see what we are writing rather than be told or have it reported to them. I see this all as very valuable for writing, storytelling and just talking or writing in general. I hope I can retain all of the things I am taught so I can apply everything to my own writing.

Hello, my name is Andrew Walski and I am an Exploratory student at the moment. A few of my many interests include athletics, technology and food. In high school I was a varsity athlete in Football, Wrestling and Track, also I was a captain of the Wrestling team. I played Middle Guard in Football and ran the 100m, 200m, and 400m in Track. As for technology I enjoy more than video games, I built my own PC, I am experienced in Auto Cad, and have tried my hand in some animation. Lastly food is so important to me that I don't think I could live without it. To me there is nothing better than a perfectly cooked sirloin next to some cheesy potato wedges sprinkled with bacon. This is a little bit about me, i'm excited to learn a little bit about all of you.
