I think if you have to ask the question, you already know the answer. While Halloween celebrations have roots in Celtic festivals, pagan traditions, and even the Catholic Church (bit.ly/oct31celebrate), today’s festivities revolve around pumpkin carving and candy eating. There’s lots of fun to be had, but never at the expense of folks who are marginalized, victimized, or would be otherwise harmed.

There’s a few schools of thought on this dilemma. I personally like to start with the assignments due first and make a list so I don’t lose track of the deadlines. Other people prefer to tackle the longest or shortest assignments first and then use momentum to keep going. It is worth trying one technique and if it doesn’t work try the other!

Well, not to brag, but I got my picture taken with the 2018 World Series Trophy: bit.ly/bc-world-series-trophy

Be confident that eventually the joy of learning will offset the ambiguity, ignorance, lack of skill, and frustration you encounter in the process.

Love is a choice everyone involved makes. Warmest wishes.

Poets have grappled with that question too, so I’ll offer you what Ursula K. LeGuin offered: “the reason why I’m sitting
