Practicum 5-Carly

I stopped playing World of Warcraft for about ten days when I went home for Thanksgiving and when I returned to it, it was as if nothing had changed. I know that the premise of WoW is that the world is always running, it moves with time, and that time continues to pass even when you are not logged on and active. Knowing this, I was surprised at how little things had changed for my character. I was still in the same area (not a surprise), but continued to receive similar missions and cannot seem to graduate past simply scouting mines and killing elves. I'm pretty excited to play on the account of someone who has reached Level 80, which I plan to do sometime this week. I believe that the main reason nothing seemed out of the ordinary for me after a brief break was that I'm simply still too new at the game to either notice minor details that may have changed and because there is not a ton for me to do within the game without more experience, weapons, and contacts. I'm having trouble keeping myself interested in playing the game and if I had simply signed up to play the game because I wanted to see what it was all about on my own time, I couldn't see myself continuing with it for much longer.
