Mari's Mailbag - Real Life (RL) Schedules

Putting family or work on hold while you compete in an Second Life (SL) surfing competition is often not an easy decision. Many SL surfers have busy RL schedules that simply go on hold once they begin competing. Practice and events usually slowly take over one's recreation time, time that is usually set aside for family . Deciding if family and work can take a backseat is something most competing surfers struggle with above all else. With small children in one's life, it's almost impossible to compete. The needs of your family should come first. Business, too, cannot wait. Let's face it - RL sometimes makes competing just impossible. Even if you cannot devote your time to all events you should at least try when you can. Then one day when you have more time, you will at least know what's expected. The friends and experience you gain from competing will forever be with you and that support is priceless.
