When I first arrived in Orientation Island I felt pretty confident in my ability to navigate. Mainly because I have participated in online games in the past. For example, in the summer between senior year of highschool and freshman year of college my boyfriend and I used to play World of Warcraft together for hours. I literally used to bring my computer and we would sit next to each other and play. I actually had a lot of fun, yet as soon as I arrived at college I stopped because I had too many other things to do. My friend Libby and I explored Orientation Island together and we soon understood how to navigate our avatars. My Avatar's Name is Lyra Brimm. I got the name Lyra from a fantasy book I have read in the past, and Brimm was just a default.

Anyway, so I quickly navigated around the island. I located the target that helped one learn how to walk. I also found that learning how to drive was much less painful in Second Life than my experience at fifteen. I also learned how to fly with the page up and page down buttons. This experience was quite exciting actually because you can while flying see the whole island and navigate quickly and easily to where ever you want to go.

When it came to editing my appearance in the castle I was initially shocked at my hoarish appearance. I had chosen a female, and I guess by default the female I chose on Second Life has big lips, big breasts, a skinny waist, long hair, and purplish eyeshadow. I tried to tone down the makeup as much as possible, but I have to say I kept the big breasts. I think almost every girl would love to be able to edit the perkiness of their breasts and in Second Life you can, so I did.
