Then and Now: A photo-comparison

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

So … this is a long overdue blog entry. Like… WAY overdue. So much overdue that it was supposed to be the next entry (that never came) on this blog (that I kept primarily in hopes of becoming an Admissions Blogger and that died shortly after that stopped being a likely possibility (shortly thereafter, it stopped being an appealing possibility)). In any case, better late then never. Thus, I present to you a photo comparison of my living situation (and appearance) with photos taken at roughly three points:

  1. The day I left for college (representing everything up and to that point)
  2. Early/middle of last year (representing freshman year)
  3. This morning or so… (representing … now)

I find it to be an interesting reflection on things. Maybe the lack of accompanying prose is a cop-out, but they say a picture is worth a thousand words. This blog-entry should therefore be worth tens of thousands. Enjoy.

Spring Break

So there you have it. What with living at pika this summer and moving into a new room on 5E next year, I may need to do an update in the future. I think it’s interesting to compare these things, and I’ll be curious to see what they end up looking like in the future.
