D.14.13 Space and home

(Here)

How would the world have been different?

Was returning home the significant part of Space?

There was a really great NPR segment about The Wizard of Oz being about Dorthy wanting to get away, that the whole story is about the desire for escape and the love of imagination. I loved the person who spoke on the issue, who looked at each tune from the 1939 film and saw a bigger picture.

Can a person go "back" to go forward?

Is home every the same as when you return to it?

The Histomap.  What a cool idea.  While a little dated (the references to "Negroids" is displeasing,) it is a very cool idea and something that makes one think.

Can history, as a concept and as a study, be mapped?

What are the defining qualities of a map? What makes a map different from, say, art?

If time could be understood aesthetically, what would it look/feel/sound like?

I finished my history exam and my first semester as a freshman today.

The exam went well enough, but I am just happy to be done.

I received my grade back from my FWIS final and it was very good - perhaps the best grade I have/will receive(d) this semester. 

Cool way to end.

And begin.
