Struggle: I feel as though I'm beginning to stagnate. I spend much of my time on the server mining, breaking my tools, replacing them, and mining some more. It's become a very tedious cycle. 

Accomplishment: In my last Minecraft blog entry, I lamented our lack of cooperation. Tonight, however, I was able to collaborate with Veronica. I ran out of food and couldn't find any livestock, so she offered to trade some of her provisions in exchange for the coal I had mined. Although we probably would have eventually found what we needed, our ability to collaborate made life so much easier for the both of us. 

Observation: I would like to second Meron's observation that Minecraft can be a very lonely game at times. Most of the time I spend on the server is spent alone, and even when there are other people online, we don't interact much. Tonight, however, was very different because I not only interacted but collaborated with another player. 

Question: What can I do to overcome this roadblock and take my activities in Minecraft to the next level?
