Kira M's Question
in more places than just this reading, it has been said that time and space are connected. but, are time and place connected as well?

I think time and place are also connected. If you look at history you can see how much different places have changed over time. In the 1920's NYC was totally different than it is now. Place is inlfluenced by people and people change over time. This is where I believe the connected is.

Stephanie's Question:
When boundaries are considered, the author mentions they are "fixed in place". Are boundaries fixed in place? Which concludes that boundaries are concrete, but can't they be abstract too?
I believe boundries are fixed in place. I think what we need to look at is who makes the boundries and where they are in certain places. For example, in New Brunswick the Rutgers police make boundries and rules for students and outside of that is the New Brunswick police who controls boundries for New Brunswick and so forth. I also believe our friends and loved ones set emotional boundries and our parents fixed boundries as we grew up. In that sense of emotional boudries that friends and family create I believe it is more abstract than concrete boundries police give.

Why are Heterotopias so important (Daniel W. Question)?

I think heterotopias a important because it is a physical representation of an aproximation of someone's utopia. This means it has a lot of emotional significance and at the same time is a physical representation

The things I carry with me

I have two maps. I woke up a little extra early to get ready for the first day of this class. I wasn't sure where it was located so I gave myself extra time. I walked around for almost an hour and a half looking for this class. On the way I talked to a dozen people and no one knew where this class was. I went in the library and an older man that worked there gave me an extra map because my map was ripping. So, that's how I got two maps. Finally, I found the classroom and was really late. When I got out of class and told my boyfriend how late I was he couldn't believe it because I had left so early. It was the most stressful part of my day. I'm never good at directions; I get lost every time I drive. Even when I going somewhere that I know how to get to; I still get lost. Last week I was driving to Flemington which is where my parents live. I lived there for 8 years and still got lost getting from New Brunswick to Flemington. Sometimes I borrow my dad's gps and I love it. It takes a ton of stress away. When I don't have it, it's a complete nightmare. I went to visit friends in PA. I got lost and had no service so I had to stop at a bar and use their phone. I got directions and then got lost again and just drove until I got service and made my friend come meet me. I don't even know how to practice how to follow directions and get places without getting lost.
