Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
If you have been keeping up with the work and studying, you should be fine. Remember to get a good night’s sleep and have something to eat. It’s hard not to stress but try anyway. 8) Breathe. It’s only a midterm. I too have faith in you: you got this! Let me know how it goes. <3 <3 <3
The first therapy dog visit of the semester is in the works for early to mid-October. Watch for specifics on the libraries’ FB page and elsewhere. (Maybe one of my acolytes will remember to post a note here.)
This just in! Joe the dog has confirmed he’ll visit on Friday, October 5 at 3:004:00pm 4:00pm. And now Juno the dog has confirmed for 6:00pm on Wednesday, October 10! And Spencer at 11:00am on the 10th!
It is very likely that almost every news channel in the country will cover the hearing. The usual choices would be CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and PBS. If you’d prefer less commentary, CSPAN will cover it without talking heads. NPR and CSPAN are likely to have radio coverage as well. You should be in good shape in the lounges based on BC’s channel lineup, or you can use Xfinity to stream to your devices. Directions here: bit.ly/bc-tv.
Many films have attempted to address the meaning of life by taking the perspective of the afterlife. Well-known American ones include A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, or for a more comical take, Heaven Can Wait, or an existential version involving second chances, Groundhog Day. The Japanese Wandafuru Raifu (Wonderful Life, also titled After Life, in O’Neill Library at circulation and in the video collection, PN1993.5 .J3 W36 2000) is likely a direct reference to the American classic, but certainly an original riff. I haven’t seen it myself, but it sounds worthwhile!
No. I speak many languages including Akan, Ashanti, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek (ancient and modern), Hebrew (biblical and modern), Hindi, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Twi, and Vietnamese. I’m also currently learning how to speak Grabahan.
I am truly happy to be in the moment: just being here and supporting the library and watching busy people go by and especially answering questions. What makes you happy?
Good luck! I don’t have a head, but if I did, I think it would be very hard to think if it ached. I hope you find both relief from the headache and a way to study effectively in spite of it. If your headaches are chronic or frequent, perhaps you can get a referral from BC Health to the headache clinic at nearby Brigham & Women’s hospital: bit.ly/BW-headache.
Okay, bye…
Well…you are in the middle of Pats country. I think rooting for any team other than the Patriots would put you in the crosshairs. The Bills’ recent records have provided plenty of opportunity to tease. But take heart: you utterly destroyed one of the best defenses in the league on Sunday and are going into a game with a compromised Packers team next Sunday. Josh Allen looks more and more like the real deal. Things look good for the Bills.
Ugh. Regional prejudice is baffling. On behalf of sensible people and walls, welcome to Boston, we’re happy to have you here.
You should go to University Health Services if the source of the rash is unknown or the symptoms are severe. Many rashes go away if the area is kept clean, dry and free of chemicals and cosmetics, but if the rash doesn’t improve, definitely see UHS. Oh, and don’t scratch it -that can cause infections or spread the rash.
It isn’t necessarily more expensive than staying at BC; please talk to the OIP Scholarship Advisor (bit.ly/BCAbroadFinances) before you decide it’s not possible for you.

Human interaction is hard! You could gently confront him/her, or you could reciprocate the look-away. Your choice; the former is braver, and if s/he is just shy or unsure of what to say to you, may lead to getting to know each other better. One more thought – it’s also possible s/he didn’t recognize you; prosopagnosia (faceblindness) is a very real thing.
For the calc, contact the Connors Family Learning Center at 2-0611, and for the pains, you can book an appt online (bit.ly/BostonCollegeHealth) or call 2-3225. I hope you feel better and can soon differentiate and integrate with ease…
While it may be difficult to use a whole swordfish as a weapon, people have used the swordfish sword or bill effectively as a weapon. See a recent academic article about penetrating chest injuries using a swordfish sword (http://bit.ly/swordfishweapon). Also, in 2010, a couple of Australian men had a drunken fight in which one used a swordfish bill as a weapon (http://bit.ly/swordfishbillweapon).
If Yelp isn’t cutting it for you, you could try Boston Magazine’s Best of Boston lists. http://bit.ly/bc-bob. Improper Bostonian has one that includes a little more on clubs: http://bit.ly/bc-ib
Yes! BC Dining Services provides one-one nutrition counseling. See their site for details and contact info for making an appointment: bit.ly/BC-nutrition-counseling
So sorry to damage my carefully created aesthetic! My assistants are telling me my font broke. I didn’t even know fonts could break, and I’m not sure I believe them. They claim they’ve glued the serifs back on, and it shouldn’t happen again. I guess I just have to trust them.
The best piece of advice would be to read more than one! There are many lists of best American novels available online. Some favorites that seem to show up on most of the lists are “To Kill a Mockingbird” (PS3562 .E353 T6 1960), “The Great Gatsby” (PS3511 .I9 G74 1980Z), “The Grapes of Wrath” (PS3537 T3234 G8 1989), “Beloved” (available online), and “Invisible Man” (PS3555 .L625 .I5 1995). Happy reading!
Sure! But could we maybe wait a few weeks?
