Task 3: Marie T. Explores Second Life

My name in SL is Eriam Mrigesh and I was born on 1/19/2008. I have not had much time to spend on SL because RL has been getting in the way. Now I have an excuse to play at least. I seemed to breeze through Orientation and Help Island and I began exploring some of the different areas in SL. At first I was slightly disorientated, because there was so much I did not quite know where to start. Then I discovered there is a SL Library! What better place to get started? So I teleported in and have joined the Library Friends group and have been coming back ever since. Here’s a picture of me (green hair) talking with some of the other library members.



Where else can you walk around with green hair without getting any stares! I like the outfit I’ve got on too. In a sim for newbies I found a lot of free outfits and this one seemed decent. Some were really wild or barely there… This one is also easy to add a little more and get a decent dancing outfit. What’s even better I can dance without tripping over my own two feet. So here I’m dancing and talking with more people at the library.



One person was nice enough to give me a fun addition to my outfit!



Now my outfit is complete…. Along with my ‘sea monkey’ friend! My only challenge I have now is making sure I don’t spend too much time in SL and not get my other class assignments done. :-)

I truly enjoy exploring new technologies and really had no difficulties in adapting to SL. As a programmer, I find the open ended creating possibilities very interesting. Once I have more time available I plan on learning LSL and creating my own prims.
