This is quite often known as an “ice- breaker”. This particular activity was a fun way to learn about our classmates' backgrounds and personalities. In this exercise we were to find a classmate who fit a specific description on the list given and then he/she was to sign the sheet of paper. Such descriptions included things like “is an only child” or “is left handed”. The exercise was completed by making our way around the classroom and getting a signature from each classmate. At some point during the exercise, finding other classmates that matched at least one of my remaining descriptions became difficult because many people chose the same description, leaving other students to merely pick one of the left over descriptions. I really enjoyed getting to know my peers. It helped me to find students I had things in common with, therefore forming a few friendships with people in the classroom. Communication was key in today’s exercise even if the communication going on wasn’t always completely verbal. The Ice breaker was the first of many steps to feeling fully confident with other classmates. Easing in with smaller audiences who you trust will make it easier to speak in front of a more intimidatingly sized group of your peers later. Although many icebreaker activities are focused on helping participants get to know one another, they can also reveal who the class leaders might be, what skills and special abilities students possess, and how well students might work together. These activities are fun ways to learn about the participants' backgrounds and personalities. What is even more valuable than just the social aspect of these exercises, however, is that these icebreakers can help our team create a culture of success.

Alone in the house over school holidays I decided to video myself getting off to see what it looked like. It was no great porno movie that was for sure but it was excplicit and showed me going through my whole repetoire, including using my moms Hitachi Magic Wand massager on myself. When I was finished watching the tape back in the home VCR I rewound it and taped over with some TV programme. Later My mother came to see me in my room with the tape in her hand. I had apparently not realised the tape only rewound until the counter got to a specific point and not until all the tape had fully rewound. This ment that several minutes of my play were still on the tape and that was what my mother had just found while looking for a scratch tape to record a programme on. I was shaken to say the least. I was not told off or lectured at but the tone was to be more careful and keep such things private (which was more than fair). To this day I don't know exactly how much I left on the take or if my moth watched it all but one thing that makes me thing she sar a fair bit was the fact she gave me an Hitachi soon after and if she got the idea from me using hers then se saw maybe 30 minutes of my scene. I wish that tape was still around in a way as I'd love to see myself in the not so innocence of youth from my perspective as a 40 something mum.
