Minecraft Blog 5 and 6

A struggle:
1) When I played the other day, I was frustrated still by the fact that I was doing a lot of digging but not finding anything. Does anyone have advice on where to dig? or wil anyone give me permission to dig in their mine?

2) Today, I actually did not have a lot of struggles because I found the "homeless shelter" that Wendy made and spent a lot of my time there. I suppose the struggle then would be thinking of ways to contribute to the space.

An accomplishment:

1) I was getting really frustrated with getting lost. Luckily, someone has told me that you can make a compass out of red stone. I guess I haven't been mining in the right spots I guess because I haven't found any, but it was an accomplishment that I sought out the information and figured it out!

2) I made a few books for the upcoming community library today. Also, I replaced any materials that I took from the community shelter area so that anyone who comes after me can find things as well.

An observation:

1) I noticed that I was getting very bored with the game the other day and asked myself whether or not young children would have the self-motivation to battle through dry spells in the game when they aren't sure what to do. 

2) I learned that sleeping in a bed will make the night pass by much faster. I hadn't made a bed of my own so I hadn't gotten the chance to experience this. This allevieates one of my previous frustrations of mine which was being really bored at night because I couldn't see in order to mine or do things.

A question:

1) My question the other day was how we would establish the community center. Luckily,Wendy got the ball rolling so now we can just add.

2) If we have the community library, what will we do with it? How do you even read a book?
