My groups Exquisite Corpse "story"

     Today, I had my first Writing and Media Cultures class. It was fine, as far as first classes go, if not better than average. Making name tags was a first in class, I don't think I've done that since back in Elementary school. We also went around and introduced each other by name and favourite movie or TV show. I stressed out because I couldn’t pick a favourite (because I have too many favourites), so I went with what I usually go with, which is Jaws, because I love that movie. I was also considering going with Mad Men or Seinfeld for a TV show, because both of those are quite good, but I prefer movies, and especially Jaws, over both shows.
     This icebreaker was followed by getting some papers (including this very assignment), and discussing the syllabus; class expectations, projects, things along those lines. Now that I know what to expect, it seems like the class will be rather fun; the projects seem interesting, and the course material is enough to keep me interested even if I somehow end up hating the class, which I doubt.
     The final new thing we did was an Exquisite Corpse writing activity, which was interesting. Nearly all the finished products (mine included) had at least one quite morbid chunk, from a parking lot full of bodies, to a Shrek addiction, to mango’s killing 80% of the population. It definitely was an interesting end to the first class.
