Minecraft 1/24

When I started playing minecraft today, it was night time for about the first five minutes. I found that it was harder to move around at night and to see what I was doing. Since I am a beginner and just started playing a few days ago, I was constantly running in circles and into walls. Once it was daylight again, I noticed that I had been trapped in some place with another character, perhaps in their home? I eventually found my way out because I saw light appear from the ceiling and jumped out of the top. Once I was out of that hole in the ground, I ran around a bit until it began to rain in some areas and snow in others. I punched some rocks and got some supplies today and I didn't come in contact with any wolves or anything that tried to harm me so I guess today was pretty successful..
