Second Life

Part of this week's assignment was to set up an avatar in Second Life. I was more than apprehensive over this assignment - I was really reluctant! But I took the plunge and my avatar's name is "Lynsie Jewell" who wears blue jeans and a lavendar top. I didn't have too much trouble manuvering in the orientation - I flew and drove a vehicle. It was then that I decided to approach and speak to another avatar. I spoke briefly with "Fernando Peccable" from Brazil and "Jiff Clary" from China. I had a longer conversation with "Mariagerman Ling" from Germany. Maria and I actually talked more about real life. She is a bus driver and it was 5:00 A.M. there in Germany. All three of the avatars spoke some English.
