The major issues that I faced with my sketch were scaling and framing. I began with the athletics complex, but the mental diagram I had pictured the athletic facilities as much more prominent than they actually are (although maybe it was just because I began with them that they are so large in my diagram). Because the athletic facilities are so large, I didn't have room to include the quad, even though I never really go to the quad and probably wouldn't have been able to sketch that area of campus accurately. I also didn't get to include much of the yard. Maybe it does make sense that my diagram is centered around Kirkland, where I live and spend most of my time. The central route up Dunster St. is one I take multiple times every day, and so I was able to sketch that part of the square very accurately. Overall, I was surprised by how inaccurate my mental diagram of the square was, and how hard it was to try and sketch accurately the space I inhabit every day.
