Singleplayer bliss

So I have been playing minecraft in singleplayer this weekend. I wish I would have been able to go to the workshop on Sunday because I feel like I have to stop every minute to look at the wiki to figure out what to do.

Some big accomplishments for me were that I built a shelter by carving out a cave. Protected from monsters I figured out how to make a chest (do this to store your things bc when I died I still had supplies to come back to), a furnance, how to cook raw foods, and make a bed. Not only did I learn to create things but I have killed zombies and spiders from the sword I crafted!

I am excited to go back to class to learn more from my classmates. I can read all I want but its much faster and easier when someone shows me.

What has been really hard for me is doing other homework over minecraft. I can see how this game is addictive. Just in singleplayer mode I am keeping entertained but once I go back to our class world it will be even more interesting to interact with everyone virtually. Right now though it seems only to be a game. I guess as you become more advance and start building worlds comes the java education that articles we read talked about. I assume multiplayer worlds are more "educative" then singleplayer when it comes to virtual etiquette.

What I hope to do before tomrrow is to start playing in our class world and stay alive!
