 This week, me and my team got together for our project that is due on 6th of May. I am in team Yellow with Aggie, Hazzible, Yingqiyingqi and Stormzada. I received an email on Monday from Kacper (Hazzible) for my number to join the Whatsapp chat so we can keep in touch. A few moments later he added me into the chat and we discussed a date and time to meet in SL to get started on our project. On Thursday evening at 7pm we met in SL in the DIT campus. We had some trouble logging in and getting started at the beginning but after about 15 minutes we finally all got in. For my own experience, my app closed down on me a couple of times and logged me out but after a few tries of logging back in it stopped. When we all got settled in, we discussed the brief that we were given. We talked about our own ideas and thoughts for a while. The idea that I put forward for the topic of future workplaces was the new trend where workplaces are allowing employees bring their dogs to work. Dogs in the workp

 This week, I explored SecondLife a bit further. We were asked to interact with three different people in the virtual world. This experience was difficult at the start, I tried to find people in various locations on Wednesday the 17th but had very bad luck. On Thursday the 18th I tried again and finally found people! My first interaction was at Frank's Jazz Club. Here, I entered the hall to where I was greeted by Liz Bernandez, the host. "Welcome Ms.Sarah" she said in the public chat. "Hi Liz how are you?" I replied. We shared a small-talk conversation. Suddenly, I get a private message from Liz; "I would like to inform you that we require Formal Attire/Cocktail here in Frank's Jazz :)". Immediately I opened up the avatar portal and chose an avatar from 'Fantasy' that has a long green ball gown on. "Better?" I said to Liz, "Thank you for understanding Ms.Sarah" she replied. I said goodbye to Liz and teleported to Enchant

 This week I visited 3 destinations to get used to flying, running walking, sitting and even dancing. Exploring the different kinds of places was fun and very interesting, the imagination in the landscapes are spectacular! The first place I visited was the land where my TUD Campus is. I got my grips around the building where my class is. I loved the TUD sign above the door, made it feel so real. It took me a good while to figure out how to sit down and it ended up being quite simple. The room is very well designed I loved it. When first entering the building to find the class, I fell off the stairs a number of times which was frustrating! I learned to fly on the landscape, its the perfect place to do so, its very scenic and I soared over the ocean and got a lovely view of the land where the college sits.  The second place I visited was 'Midnight in Paris'. This place was fabulous! it was like being on a holiday, except it was lashing rain which wasn't very nice. The seafron
