Exploration Assignment!

The first spot that I chose to go to was Chakryn Forest. It sounded like a nice place that I could go to to relax for a while. The landscape was beautiful. Everything was green and growing spectacularly. I loved this place from the moment that I teleported into it. The environment is very relaxing and this will be a place I will return to for alone time or just to relax in Second Life.

A featured location that I decided to visit was the Rutgers football stadium. I am a very big football fan and love everything about it. This is why I decided to visit the stadium. The stadium is built just like it really is, which I find to be very awesome. Unfortunately there was nobody else here when I visited, but I expect it to be packed full for any football games.






Another place I decided to visit was the Apocalypse. This area looked very rundown and destroyed. There were a few other people here who seemed very strange. They got mad at me for talking not in IMs and said they would ban me from here if I continued to talk. Other than these strange people this place was sort of interesting. It seems to me that this place was made to show what the world would look like if something drastic would happen. At first I could not find anything special to do here, but then Dooley and I found a small park that we chose to take our snapshot in.



The first challenge of Info Island was locating where Dooley was. After we found each other we decided to check some things out. The first place we found was the Placement Office. There was information about education and finding different jobs. There was no other people here when we were visiting. The next place we visited was the Stonewall Learning Center. It seemed to be about gay and lesbian rights. There were a poster that had words such as "daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers," this is saying that gays and lesbians are just the same as everyone else. If only everyone could come to Second Life and realize this, there would be much less controversy and fighting in the world. The next place we visited was called the Holodeck. It seemed to give information about Second Life. It explains how to use slide shows and other educational features. The last place on Info Island that we visited was the Jazz Cat. It is a place to go to listen to Jazz music and dance. This would be a cool place to go on a Second Life "date". The last thing we did was meet one of the librarians here on Info Island. We talked for a while about Second Life and shared some of the places we had visited. All of these places were very informative and I was glad to have visited all of them.
