My first impression was that after looking at a map, the scale of my drawing was a bit off. Some buildings were a bit larger in the sketch than they actually are (Harvard Coop). I think this reflects what locations I've been to most in the Square.

While I do not frequent the various stores (shown by my inaccurate drawing of the places behind Curious George), I spend quite a bit of time at the Coop. So in the sketch the size of the Coop was overestimated. I think the areas we use more often are overrepresented in terms of scale. I drew Straus Hall and Mathews Hall nearly the same size, where in reality Mathews is much larger. I live in Straus Hall, so perhaps that accounts for my size discrepancy. While I would have originally thought that the places people frequent more would be represented more accurately in a sketch, this is not the case for me. I, instead, draw the areas that I visit most frequently larger than than their actual size. Perhaps this oversize of buildings shows the significance of a building in my life.
