Guess what? The tired college student did survive! I am now at home, after a long road trip all of yesterday, and I am contemplating the summer ahead. Looks good.
I have two goals for the summer. I would like to create a world, and I want to learn German. Actually, I want to start learning Akkadian cuneiform too, but I get the idea that the latter may take a while. It might be nice to get a foot up before graduate school, however.
Let me expand "creating a world," however. I sort of am, and sort of am not. I feel more like I'm synthesizing it from everything I've ever read, and tossing a few bits of myself into the mix.
What is gravity anyway? We don't know; we barely have a grasp on how it works. Suppose it were alive. Suppose we each had our own personal gravity, attached to our feet and living under the surface of the Earth. Suppose that Earth's gravity were only asleep. What then?
It is awfully fun to create one's own world. Mine is called "Orbis." Latin is a wonderful language.
