Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
I’m sorry you have had to experience that. Secondhand smoke is a genuine health issue. Boston College policy: “Smoking is… prohibited outdoors within twenty-five feet of all campus buildings.” Library staff will look into ways to communicate this policy effectively.
I will be hanging in Chestnut Hill, waiting for my friends who stay local to come by and visit me!
It’s so good to see you smile!
YouTube has a huge community of people with exactly that set of interests, so that’s one obvious place. Psychotraveller has good series on travel basics, for example. http://bit.ly/bc-travel. There are websites like Her Packing List that focus on how and what to pack. https://herpackinglist.com. Guidebooks like Rick Steves or Lonely Planet are an old-school way to check on destinations before you go, and they have digital versions…and they’re a little more consistent in tone and quality than TripAdvisor. Try a few of those and let me know if you have more questions..
Write them at a rate of 1.5 papers per day? You could try asking for an extension. But it sounds like you could use some support with time management. Academic Coaching at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) can give you some ideas for how to not wind up in this situation next time.
Here’s my answer from April 2017: According to the Poetry Foundation, a woodchuck would chuck “As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood.” (bit.ly/woodchuck-poem) Researchers at Cornell determined that a woodchuck could chuck about 700 pounds: (bit.ly/cornell-woodchucks). “Compared to beavers, groundhogs/woodchucks are not adept at moving timber, although some will chew wood. A wildlife biologist once measured the inside volume of a typical woodchuck burrow and estimated that — if wood filled the hole instead of dirt — the industrious animal would have chucked about 700 pounds’ worth.” Additionally, though, how much wood could a wood duck duck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
They’re dissuading feathered friends from landing on the window ledges & using them as a bird bathroom.
I’m here to be welcoming to all and I don’t want to give an answer that might make someone feel excluded, so I think I’d like to keep my religious beliefs a private matter. In terms of the other part of your question, my friends at Campus Ministry would be delighted to help you explore questions like that. bit.ly/BC-ministry
It’s really a great thing that you get so much joy from your fellow students, but I can see how this could become a problem. Can you explain the situation to your study friends, and ask them to help you out with a more serious environment… just while you’re studying? Afterwards, they can revert to being their hysterically funny selves.
In 2018/19: 6 undergraduate and 18 graduate. The BC Fact Book is a great source for answers to questions like that: bit.ly/BC-FactBook
All of it? Not possible. But it’s a good idea to learn to get rid of unnecessary stress and to cope with the necessary stress. The Office of Health Promotion has some terrific ideas here: bit.ly/BCDeStress, as well as a link to meet with a Health Coach.
It’s not THAT big; why, 1.405 x 10^52 is TEN TIMES bigger! But Douglas Adams was, of course, correct.
I think it would depend on who you asked. My helpers have a variety of opinions about that issue. Consensual and ethical are minimums, it’s the non-monogamy that gets complicated when you move from theory to relating to real human beings. (BTW, I answered this very question on 10/2 and 10/8. You can always visit my blog to see questions you might have missed in their physical manifestation right here: library.bc.edu/answerwall.)
I’m not sure what your genre preferences are, but one of my helpers says Slay by Brittany Morris in our POP! collection is a good one. It’s about a young black game developer who creates a hugely popular VR game. I recommend a visit to librarything.com, where you can type in a title or author you like and see related recommendations, based on thousands of participant’s personal collections.
I could answer this, but I’m concerned that maybe you can’t, and you need to be able to. How about getting some friendly peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors)?
Even The Who couldn’t answer that question, and you think I can? bit.ly/whoareyouwhowho. No, but seriously, I contain multitudes. Of library staff.
I couldn’t watch after the wall was breached. I just couldn’t, I’m sorry. So I have no take on GOT ssn 8.

I might not know every language in the world, but my helpers and I know many, including Tagalog. (Let’s test the Tagalog, the wall might understand. Did I pass your test?)
Sad for the one in Paris. Collegial toward the one in Indiana–have some good wall friends there.
