This is my second time signing up to join Second Life. I first signed up last Christmas after I read an article about it on an airplane. I was excited to join; it was going to be the perfect way to waste time while I was bored at home during winter break. Too bad I couldn’t get off the stupid welcome island. I knew how to talk, to read a map, fly and I even made my Advatar into the perfect Girl Next Door. It was so frustrating. It kept me occupied but frustrated as well. I wanted to experience what the article had written about and I couldn’t even beat the first level. I gave up, thinking to myself there is a reason I don’t play video games and stick to other entertainment.

Second try, I made a new name and advatar. (That always freaked me out about the last names having to pick one, what do they mean? People with the same last name as you are your family? I don’t get it.) Anyway, this time I didn’t really have time to waste, I wasn’t bored or trying to occupy my time, I just wanted to complete the assignment and get past Welcome Island. Well 3 hours later I still got nowhere. After the same frustration that I had the first time set in, I decided to quit again. So if anyone would like to help me my Second Life name is Mimiyo Myoo and I am stuck on the Welcome Island. I hate Second Life but I am willing to give it another try just get me off this freaking Island!!!!!
