Answer

the second correction is correct !

the first correction is not... 
we use the construction  as........as to say two things are similar. "we are as old as each other" "he's as qualified as her"
If one is not similar to the other we use NOT as......as..... eg "he is not as old as me" (he is younger) "they were not as drunk as him" (he was more drunk)

hope this helps !

Answer

Hi, Alexandra,
In "very" correct English grammar, "so" is used in negative comparisons as you did in number 1. That is a correct usage. 
In conversation, "as...as" is used for both negative and positive statements.

well done!
