micro project-1 maps

I walked from Denney Hall, which is my 7:30 English class every Tue/Thurs, to Ohio Stadium on my first day to the art education class. I was still sleepy after a 1hr+40mins class, but I remembered one thing: it was a freaking chilly morning, and of course I felt it was an endless journey although it only took 8-10mins, depending on how sober I am every morning. Fortunately, I met one of my best girlfriends in OSU that morning. After that, we say hi every Tuesday and Thursday on the road across the RPAC. Those were some refreshing coincidences.

I didn’t use the Google map my first day to find the Ohio stadium. But it took me some effort to reach the classroom inside the stadium. I think universal maps are quite useful during travels or complex journeys, but not so accurate inside the street or navigating exact locations. Technologies are advanced, but never as sharp as human instinct for locating.

This jpeg document shows my personal map I imagine every class day from Denney Hall to Ohio Stadium. I use pinpoints that I would normally notice to remind me if I reach the correct location. It is straightforward way from Denney Hall to the stadium, but i usually do a lot of thinking during the short journey. So this is the reason the pics combine in a relatively messy order instead of a straight line of the pinpoints one would notice along the way. my feet and my instinct for destination never wander but my thoughts float from place to place. that girl is the friend I meet every morning. She is one of the pinpoints as well. If she doesn’t show up one day, I may doubt that if I’m late for class…oh, and I listen to IPod all the way there, I thought that would be a good way to keep me awake until the art class ends.
