OTTILT September

Livin' it up in college:

(Actually, I'm pretty lame by the typical college freshman stereotypes and standards; fair warning, there will be no mention of parties or turning up or my favorite alcoholic beverage or any of that.)

Pic a Day - 9/19 to 9/25

Mon. Sep 19, sweet venue for the ASL club

Tues. Sep 20, dinner at the Ross Commons House with the Commons faculty heads

This next picture exists in tandem with a Google Photos flashback notification I got, reminding me of this date four years ago (September 21, 2012). I'm including it here not as my picture for Wednesday of this week, but because you won't get the connection-slash-inside joke if I don't include it, and I'd like for you all to be in on it. So here is the collage Google Photos made for me:

... and Wednesday's photo was a four-year-anniversary commemoration/response to it:

I hope to be able to continue doing Pic a Day posts for as long as I can, but I have a feeling it will be a significant challenge. I will do my best, and, worst case scenario, I'll take photos on an irregular basis and share here whenever possible.

Thanks so much to everyone who reads and supports this blog!
