Second Life

AFTER

BEFORE

I decided to start the new peice of coursework nice and early. :-D I signed up to Second Life which was easy to do and installed what ever I had to, to use the program. I called my character Italia and chose the second name from a list. First time I singed in I thought that it looked really cool and was quite impressed. I started of on the island where you can try tutorials which teaches you the basics such as how to chat, drive, fly and make changes to you character. I also started to read little notes that get sent but soon found out that its easier to ignor them as I learn better when I explor the things myself.

I started to change my chracters apperance. Its cool how you can change every aspect of it. I first thought about making it look similar to myself but then thought I got a chance to be anyone I want so i want for it giving her long dark hair, green eyes and I made her taller because I feel short in real life.lol

Once I had compleated my character and dressed her I decided to go and get talking to peopel. I found this was the best way to learn about this place and most people are more then willing to help out. I also added someone as a friend as she said I could ask her for help in the future.
