Changing Sami to become myself

Changing my avatar took a considerable time. In the beginning I was wondering how successful I would be to modify it and where can I find all the tools and what are the techniques and procedures to take. I hesitated a lot at the beginning to do that. What made the matter worse was that I did not have enough time to devote to that task last week because my toothache and the loads of continuous assessment papers I have to correct. I was confused even about the exact tasks that I had to perform, till I decided to print all the tasks and read them carefully and be practical.

I have done different activities randomly as visiting many places SL and I would be chatting with the people I would come across. Unfortunately, it was hard for me to be on time for most of the meeting held in the muvenation virtual world. I would either working or when I connect I would discover that the meeting was over.

Once, I have tried to become myself, but I become as a blur, which I have noticed some people would be the same. Even last night, my interlocutor said to me that he could not see but a blur while I saw myself clearly. Still, I am wondering why we become like that. Is there any reason or specific manner that turns us one to be a blur?

Sometimes, I tried to chat with the people in SL, but in vain since the typing in the chat box does not come on time; and if ever it comes, it would be too late for to conduct an effective exchange. Therefore, I only disconnect.

I am also, asking if there any limitation to the volute of the “inventory” because I kept accepting everything I would be offered, including cards, items, land, money….

Throughout changing my avatar, I have learned the process and the steps that I have to follow. It can be used in teaching when giving instruction or direction to students to carry out a particular task. There is a raise of recurrent social ties that grow in this virtual word.

Changing my avatar reminds me of how careful I would be when going to class, an outing, visiting somebody or attending a formal or informal meeting. A have a proverb which says “Eat whatever you like, but put on the things that people would accept”.

It is a show off skill. I have to show that I am learning and I am confirming with the whole folk. I am carrying out instructions.
