It’s been over a week since my last blog post, but even as I ended my term and traveled across the Atlantic, I was still farming.
Today I opened all of the presents under my Christmas tree – there were some exciting ones, and some a bit less exciting. I kept a tally of all my presents (I might still get more, as the presents last till January 8th)
For those who haven’t opened theirs and want to be surprised, don’t look ahead, as I will now write the tally of what I received.
FUEL:
Fuel refills were the most common present – all in all, I got 42 fuel refills, which will allow me to use my machinery an extra 42 times.
ANIMALS:
3 brown cows, 1 alien cow, 3 black chickens, 3 brown chickens, 2 lambs, 2 calves, 1 black sheep, 3 black cats, 3 grey tabbies, 1 clumsy reindeer (Rudolph?) and 1 golden chicken. I like the animal gifts since most are things I didn’t have – although I do wish I could eat the lamb. Maybe by Easter this will be allowed. Or Passover.
OTHER RANDOM STUFF:
1 new years ball, 5 gold nutcrackers, 3 giant lollipops, 4 lighted gift boxes, 5 silver ornaments, 1 gold soldier, 2 cocoa teddy bears, 1 gold ornament and 2 mystery boxes. I decided to sell most of those things, although I will keep the new years ball till New Years Eve. But mostly these gifts were silly.
I have to admit that opening my Farmville presents was almost as fun as opening real presents.
As I continue to play Farmville over this winter break, I’ll hopefully post some more, and try to make some more anthropology connections as well, especially since I’ll be working on my essays.
Until then, Merry Christmas!
