Day 295 – Last Run of Chicago Photos
I have a lot more photos from my Chicago trip, but I am not posting anymore after today. These past few days in Hillsdale have been beautiful! Check out William Clayton’s blog to see a beautiful Hillsdale autumn photo. I even had class outside yesterday! (The seminar I was in is not the one pictures…

Day 291 – Jewish Deli and Art Institute
Today was the last day of Fall Break and my last day in Chicago. I celebrated by sleeping in, going to Eleven City Diner with Ryan and Carrie for lunch, then visiting the Art Institute. Shortly afterward, I made my way back to Hillsdale. Eleven City Diner is great! It is a Jewish deli/diner with…

Day 290 – Second Full Day in Chicago
I had another great day today! We got a late start (slept until 11), but Ryan and I met Carrie at Jake Melnick’s for lunch, which was excellent. I had a beef brisket sandwich, and we got an order of the XXX wings. Those wings are the hottest, yet most flavorful wings I’ve ever had.…

Day 289 – Jam, Michigan Ave, and BMG
I had an excellent day today! I slept in, then got up and ate brunch at JamArchived Link, a trendy little spot in Ukrainian Village, just a few blocks from my cousin’s house. The food was excellent–great coffee, a tasty chocolate raspberry muffin, fingerling potatoes, and a spanish omelet with chorizo, roasted peppers, melted onions,…

Day 288 – Chicago Arrival
I finally got my paper finished, turned it in, then hopped in the vehicle and drive to visit Ryan in Chicago. Before I left, it was snowing in Hillsdale! It stopped after 10am, but there was definitely snow falling for a few hours. The ground was warm enough that it melted right away, though. I…

Day 287 – Football Alumni Game
I am on my way to Chicago on Thursday. I am excited! Besides lots of sight-seeing, photographing, and eating, I plan to update my photography portfolio here on my site while I am there. I have not updated it in a year, and my skills have improved in that time. I have a lot of…

Day 286 – More Charger Swimming
All three pre-fall break exams are finished! Now I have to put the finishing touches on my Austrian Economics paper on the notion of cost and its use in economic regulation, and I will be on my way to visit Ryan in Chicago! Now, for the regularly scheduled program: 4 photos from the Charger Blue…

Day 283 – Homecoming Victory
The Chargers had a victorious win over nationally-ranked no. 1 team in division II, the Grand Valley Lakers, this afternoon. The Chargers broke the Lakers’ 48 regular season game winning streak. What a wonderful homecoming! Read about the win at the Hillsdale College athletics page.

Day 282 – Economizing on Brain Power
I had an interesting concept brought up to me today while I was discussing the difference between rationality and reason with Professor Lea. To try to understand the difference, we did a thought experiment about making choices. When a person makes a choice, he or she weighs the expected utility (broadly defined) of each unit,…

Day 281 – IM Football
This photo ran in today’s Collegian with this article. I also had a number of portraits I took for the homecoming bios, and I compiled the quick hits this week. I have a very busy weekend coming up. I have three big exams on Monday and Tuesday of next week, a paper due Wednesday (which…

Day 280 – Taylor Gage
I had to do portraits of the guys nominated to the homecoming court here at Hillsdale. I took all of the of the photos outdoors. Taylor Gage could only meet me at night, so I got creative and did a little strobist work with a flash off-camera left. A side note: I am in an…

Day 279 – Aggregates
Today’s post is short. After a meeting of the Classical Liberal Organization tonight in which a few people confused this, I feel the need to say something about this: Aggregates don’t act. Aggregates don’t make choices, laws, invade other countries, or have rights. Only individuals which make up those aggregates make choices, act, have rights,…

Day 278 – Central Hall Clock Tower
I got to go in the clock tower of Central Hall today! What a cool place! The webcams up there had smudges on the lenses, so I volunteered to go up to clean them for ITS. The journey up the various ladders and the rough hand-hewn stairs is a long one, but definitely worth it.…

Day 277 – Beautiful Sky
I looked out of my window while I was studying after dinner, and I saw this beautifully colored sky. (Just so people know, there are some birds in the photo. It isn’t sensor dirt!) After much rest, NyQuil, water, and Emergen-C, I am finally feeling better. Good thing, because I have the first round of…
