Day 365 – Final Post
Year two thousand and nine has been an exciting, grace-filled year full of adventures, lessons, and valuable time spent with family and friends. This post draws my modified Project 365 to a close. Posting every day this year has been a challenge and a lesson in discipline, to be sure. Sometimes the posts came after […]

Day 364 – The Fireplace
As I stood in front of the fireplace this evening, I realized that I don’t remember a time when my family has not had one. Both of our houses have had one, and so has my grandmother’s house. It is so wonderful to come inside from a cold, snowy, windy day and warm up in […]

Day 362 – Snowy Hike

Day 361 – Train Depot
It has been quite a while since I have done much of anything with long exposures, so my parents and I went down to the old train depot and took a few shots. I am getting rusty!

Day 360 – Answer To Calendar Question and Misc.
This is my answer to the Friday the 13th calendar question my friend David posed to me on Monday: (I believe it happens when January starts on a Sunday or a Thursday, though I am not 100% on this.) It happened this year (2009). March and November, with February, March, and November having Friday the […]

Day 359 – Merry Christmas
A few things to reflect upon today: “Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14) “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and […]

Day 357 – Hummus
As promised, I made hummus today. (Among other things, that is. I slept in, went out to lunch and shopping with Amanda, visited the Amherst Schools tech guys, ate dinner with my parents, made hummus, then wrapped presents with the help of my Dad.) My friend Dom came over to make hummus with me, as […]

Day 356 – Biscotti, Stir Fry, and Parfait
After a routine checkup at the dentist this morning and a quick lunch with Dad, I went to Amanda’s house and helped her make three batches of cranberry pecan biscotti. I’ll admit, I was not much help besides mixing together dry ingredients, but it was nice to spend part of the afternoon with her, anyway. […]

Day 355 – Calendar Question
I visited my friend David Wagner today, and we drove all around the Huron/Sandusky/Port Clinton area this afternoon. David just got home for Christmas from his teaching position on Bordeaux, France. I haven’t seen him since the beginning of September, so it was wonderful to spend all afternoon and evening with him. If everything goes […]

Day 354 – Shopping as a Discovery Process
While I was out finishing my Christmas shopping on Saturday, I couldn’t help but think a little bit about economics. I know I am strange, but it is what I am majoring in and what I’ve been studying these past three semesters at Hillsdale, and I am not very successful at turning my mind off […]

Day 350 – Studying, Studying, Studying
Here is where I’ve been studying all night – a room in the math building. I pushed multiple desks together to make a table. My linear algebra exam is tomorrow morning. I am feeling a little better about it than I was yesterday. On the plus side, my two exams today went well, or at […]

Day 349 – I Wish I Was…
…at home, looking out my back window at the snow-covered porch, yard, and trees. Then going to stand by the fireplace to warm up, then settling down on the couch to read a good book. Unfortunately, multiple finals stand in the way, and I am very worried about the Linear Algebra final. My stress level […]

Day 344 – Be A Number
“Senior Kevin Hershock keeps careful count of his T-shirts. As the president of Be A Number, every $20 shirt he sells has a twin that will become the property of an underprivileged child in America or a third world country.” Read the rest of the article. Oh, and all bagels I eat from now on […]
