A Feast For The Creative Mind

Last week in Writer's Craft, We had classes that revolved around each human sense: Sight, Sound, Touch, and Taste. For each day, we experimented with our senses and wrote about each sense and how they made us feel. We would then be given different stimulants to each sense and we would write on the spot about how each one was different and how each one made us feel.

Each day for each sense brought a new and fun classroom experience. However, the one class that stands out in my mind was the day we experimented our taste. Each student brought in certain food for the rest of the class to share and eat. The food that people brought in not only described their taste in food, but also said something about their personality and who they were.

I had personally brought sausages and rice, which spoke of my asian heritage as well as the influence North American society has had on my character.

I quite enjoyed eating the food as well experiencing the different feelings that each food brought. It was also fun watching everyone reacting to me standing up for the dozenth time to go for more food. Even my teacher halfway through talking stopped to comment on my continuous eating.

Overall, it was a good day as I not only got to eat in class but I also got to develop my creative writing as I got to practice giving inanimate objects.

Ending this very short post off, I am very pleased with how the month has gone. Another month, another doorway for potential and success. I can't wait for my potential march break plans. That'll be explained in another post.

Until then.
