In case you were wondering, I’m still bumbling around in Second Life for my teacher-training class. In fact, today, I managed to make myself bald while trying to construct a temple as part of a group project. Yep.
One not-completely-infuriating feature of SecondLife is the option to take screenshots of what’s happening. This way, I can share funny things that happen with you.
Here is my Avatar (on the left). Do you think it looks like me? I couldn’t find swoopy bangs, and in real life, I would never wear such a bizarrely-cropped sweater or plum-colored lipstick. I also couldn’t find any appropriate shoes, so I had to make do with some man-shoes, which are about fourteen sizes too large for my tiny feet.
However, in SecondLife, just like in First Life, I look plenty shifty. 
For a class assignment, we had to build some kind of object and write instructions to share with another group. My groupmates, Kristen and Ester, and I made this pretty bangin’ cake. Then we sat on it with rigid posture.
I’ve been busy working on the WVT site and checking off things on my monstrous to-do list! Phew!
I’m selfishly glad you are doing this project. I’ve wondered if Second Life was worth checking out, but it sounds like it’s way more effort than I’d want to put in, so now I won’t waste any more time wondering. Sorry that you have to deal with it, though!
Oh my gosh. Too funny. I still cannot believe you are using this for school! What fun! I love the big shoes. Ha ha ha.
(Does that cake count as one of your Ameri-cakes?)
