Wow! I can’t believe it’s already the end of the semester… I’m so sad.

I don’t want to grow up, I don’t want to be old. I don’t want to see the campus being empty. Workaholic is a real thing… it helps you to feel numb so you don’t feel sad by the end of the semester. Thank God that I can handle working 100+ hours/wk… glad that I’m still young.:) I realized that I post something similar by the end of every semester. lol I wish we can reverse time. ><

Change is hard, but who knows what wonders the future will bring? Perhaps if you found ways to reduce your working hours, you might see more prospects for joy. 100+ hours a week really isn’t sustainable! I recommend checking out Academic Coaching for time management at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) when you come back in the fall or try some self-guided material from the Office of Health Promotion (bit.ly/OHPTIME).

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
