First Class outside of Chico






Today was the first day we met as a class to conduct a field trip, but this time we were located not in our physical seats at the CSU Chico campus.  I logged in from my hometown of Sacramento, CA, while most other students logged in from Chico, CA.  We met okay.  It took a few minutes to really round up everyone.  We teleported for our trip to The University of Delaware's sim.  Tyde Poole was the student that showed us around.  We managed to finally meet up and then we started to move around the sim.  There were many places to look at art, and even there was traditional art galleries that were available to walk into.  It showed many artworks of Andy Warhol and another exhibit that was focused on black music in the past.  They were mostly paintings and photos that were available to view in high quality.  I started to fly around and I noticed that everyone was traveling towards the ocean.  I tried talking to a few students but then I immediately came up the conclusion that the Second Life viewer must of timed out, or had some other technical difficulty.  I had to log out and come back in, but when I entered back in, I couldn't really find any of my classmates.  I started to look around a little bit more and I noticed there was a crime scene.  Apparently the University of Delaware set up a game where you act as a detective.  I started to travel through the trees and terrain to find a dead woman that had her underwear removed.  I was meant to believe that this body was raped before it was killed.  Oh Second Life drama!  This place had too much detail from my ariel perspective that I will have to come check out later.  I got back to the Chico State campus in Second Life to see people working on their projects and I started going back to work on mine.
