Into:
Music, change in music. My transision.
It started with a metallica CD for my 13th birthday. it was good for me, to get something heavier. I had always been such a quiet person, with little to no actual friends. I had no sense of identity. I just listened to the music my dad had been listening. I wasnt my own person. I never made up my own mind. I never listened to what I had to say. I was always following what the other kids said I should do, or what I should be interested in. I was affraid of anything new. etc
First topic: 13th Birthday, My dad letting me realize that change is good, and find what I like. He never actually stated this but he let me know in a different way.
Second topic: My 13th Birthday
Closure: explain the aftermath of that birthday, and moral

learning
Gever Tully seemed very knowledgeable about how people learn. He knew that keeping a variety
is always good, and he believed that giving tests was something that doesn’t help. He said that its better for
kids to have a hands on learning experience, because it gives them an opportunity to see and become
familiar with what they are learning about.
The video was very short, and Gever Tully didn’t really go in depth. So, it is difficult to understand
why someone would assume that there could be a half page paper written about it.
In my experiences with school, I’ve rarely had teachers that new how to keep my attention, or
knew how to give me the right type of learning experience to help learn the curriculum. I’ve had a lot of teachers just stand there and give lectures, or some teaches would teach a program way to fast for
people who have no experience. I even have a class right now that I can’t seem to keep up. Adobe
Illustrator makes no sense to me and the teacher just expects me to understand the tool once he shows what
it does. I don’t learn new concepts that fast for the most part.
I’ve never done well in school, and I don’t think I ever will. The only classes I’ve done beyond
expectations in are grammar classes, and most certainly art. It seems to me that the only teaches I’ve had
that I can truly pay attention to have taught those subjects. There’s been a few science teachers and math teachers here and there that have done a great job but mostly there hasn’t been.
I’ve always been a very visual, hands on type of person. That’s why I’ve always liked Art. If I can
see something happen and make something happen, it is easier for me to learn why it happens. There’s
really not much to say about that. It’s pretty self explanatory.
I guess that’s all I have to say about this extremely boring topic. I wonder how other papers are
going to compare.

My Labor Day weekend, like most weekends, consisted of trying to find something to do. After doing just about everything there is to do in the LaCrosse area, it becomes more and more difficult to find something new and interesting. I spend a lot of time on the computer on the same old websites, and trying to find new music or just something to amuse myself. I spend a lot of time with my friends driving around and repeating the phrase “I’m bored” over and over. That last sentence seemed redundant, but so do my weekends. Not having a steady job usually affects my activities, due to lack of money. Every once in awhile I catch a break when I get a descent paycheck. Descent paychecks usually equal more activities. So, I guess that’s what my usual activities are.
The activities I enjoy doing involve playing pool, swimming/being out in the sun, going to movies, listening to music, going to concerts, eating, and just joking around and having a good time in general. what I love to do most is creating artwork while listening to my favorite music. I get a rush trying to amaze people’s brains with visual creations and masterpieces. I never really got around to doing any of that because I seem to have used up my creative fuel. I am really into making the images my head and my imagination come to live in two dimensional form. For the most part I don’t do much because I’m so jaded. I’ve done everything I can think of, and everything I haven’t done, involves money.

About me
I'm Andrew, I live in Onalaska. I love music, my favorite genre's are Metal, Industrial, Classic Rock and Dubstep. I enjoy going to concerts, and I love the heavy metal scene. I'm big into art. My favorite medias to use are charcoal, pencil, and watercolor. I enjoy being outside, in the hot sun. Sense of humor is a big part of my life; sometimes I find it difficult to keep my mouth shut. I'm fascinated by philosophy and the universe. I could talk all day about that stuff. I also love religious debates. I can't stand organized religion. It makes me sick. I've studied many of the worlds religions, so I can back up my arguements.
