This class has actually gotten me to write more on my own, i am surprised on how easy it is to put down my thoughts on paper without the stress of it being picked apart by others who just want to grade it. when i was working on my nerf gun work cycle i mentioned niners vs zombies. without knowing it at the time i simply wrote about it on facebook. now i realize that if i had not have already been writing about it in my make cycle i really dont think i would have even mentioned it on facebook. i made a simple diary/journal of the days i was "alive" during the game. even though i only lasted a few days i found writing about it to be fun.
here are the posts.
Ben Hartgroves zombie diary Day#1
started out easy, didn't see a zombie at all through out the day. it wasn't until the night mission that i encountered my first zombie. my group was picked by random and we got a pretty good team and an awesome leader. this leader had alot of experience and his knowledge of the campus and other things defiantly saved the group. we completed all the missions, even the optional one. once we returned to the belk tower we broke apart to get back to our rooms. me and some others just ran for the high rises, the zombies were not expecting us to bolt straight through them, so we got home safely, however i am not sure about the others we left behind. Darren Jessup group died pretty quick but luckily he survived. i am not sure if i will survive today, because there is a ton more zombies now.
Ben Hartgroves zombie diary Day#2
day started out good, didn't encounter any zombies. I had to escort my buddy Darren around to his classes today. went to the night mission and split from my group to help another guy find the flags we were to retrieve. we found 2 before heading back to the belk tower. while getting the second flag we encounter alot of zombies, lucky we were able to team up with another guy who is sooooo BA he simply walked up with us behind him and confronted the zombies without them doing anything to us. on our way out me and my buddy got separated from that guy and we were almost cornered by some other zombies, lucky i came up with a plan to run around a sharp corner and surprise the zombies by fighting back, this worked and allowed us to escape with our lives. now we are pinned down in a bush near the check point, unable to move much, crap a zombie is near i need to stop writing, its only one zombie so ima shoot this one...
Ben Hartgroves zombie diary Day#3
soo remember when i said there was only one zombie... well i was wrong... i shot the zombie and she calls out to her horde and i was consumed. thus ended my human life. i think now that i am not a human anymore i wont be playing as a zombie much this may well be my last zombie diary entry for this semester until next semester when it starts again!!!
these posts actually inspired me to continue this diary next semester when niners vs zombies start up again.
i dont know why some of the diary font is smaller than the rest?
ReplyDeleteThis is really great! You have me thinking more about how I might facilitate students in seeing more connections between class and other parts of our lives. Thank you!
