The last few weeks have been difficult and challenging, and then I caught the flu. So I have really procrastinated with the final week of the Minecraft MOOC, which is going into survival mode.
I called upon all of my metacognitive forces to understand why I was dragging my feet, and voila, it came to me. I don't want to die and respawn - I am afraid of survival mode. Creative is my preferred mode; I enjoy mining, building, flying, exploring and the power to easily fix mistakes. I do not like the stress of knowing I am not going to survive long term, and it is just a matter of time before a zombie or something gets me.
In other words, I only went into survival mode today because I want my MOOC badge.
I began on a roof where it began raining, so I jumped through a hole and found myself in the mailroom.
I put a sign on a mailbox with my name, broke a couple of glass blocks/windows, then went outside to look around. As it got dark, I panicked and found I could not get back into the nether portal. I went into a small house with lights and a library, and that is where I am now
.
Hopefully, I'll go back later and mine, craft and build, and creative mode will return soon.
