My avatar from Second Life is named Stess Sussermann. I chose Stess, because when I attended UW-Stevens Point the first two years of my college experience, my name in my email address was Stess. It actually became a nickname that everyone started calling me the whole time I attended UWSP.
The different avatars that one is given to choose from to begin with did not look anything like me. This scared me a bit, because I did not know if I would be able to change the appearance. After I noticed I could, I honestly changed every aspect of her, to make her more like me. I changed my clothing to an outfit that I might wear during the summer, because I am truly looking forward to warm weather. I also changed the shape of my face; smaller lips, higher cheek bones, and smaller nose. My hair color is now closer to what it truly is, which is blonde with a hint of red, and my eyes are now hazel/green. My hair is long and straight, and my finishing touches included light makeup with a greenish tint around my eyes.
Getting oriented with Second Life was very difficult and time consuming for me. Considering my computer is six years old, it is not as fast as I would like it. Also, I guess I do not meet the minimum memory requirements, which makes it lag a considerable amount. However, since I first logged into Second Life, I did go into the add or remove hardware icon on my computer and removed programs I did not use. Since then, Second Life has been running a little bit easier, but still freezes from time to time. I really enjoyed the tutorial part, because it made it that much easier to understand how to work effectively in the program.
I thought very highly of Second Life for my first impression. Second Life is like a computer game (which I never am able to play because I am so busy), but in this program I have the ability to communicate with others, and hopefully talk to others that are intelligent. I believe this will be very fun and new way to meet others.

My Avatar name is Veronica Henig. I changed the hair cut and added a jacket to my avatar. I changed those things because they were the exact opposite from what I look like or would wear. I have had a real challenge with this second life activity. I still don't quit get it but I hope to learn as much as possible. Overall, my impression is that this will be a good tool to learn. I know nothing about it and have never been exposed to a program like this before.
