march 8

JOURNAL TOPIC: (today's tunes: "Message in a Bottle" by The Police; "All By Myself" by Eric Carmen; "Only the Lonely" by Roy Orbison)

Tomorrow morning you wake up to discover that you are utterly alone.  (This is a familiar premise that narratives from "Twilight Zone" to "28 Days Later" have used.)  There are no neighbors, relatives, passersby, zombies-- absolutely no one.  What will you have to learn to survive?  How will you determine the value of what you learn without someone saying "good job" or giving you a grade?  Assume nothing and take nothing for granted: explain your next moves in detail.

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Chapter 3
3. What's in a Word? Etymologies & Meanings of Utopia & Nirvana

HW:
Finish reading Chapter 3.  Congratulate yourself-- then read Chapter 4.  Post reading notes for both (titles: BNW CHAPTER 3 and BNW CHAPTER 4)
