The Wall

Midnight Rain, it’s just so catchy! He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that PAIN!

I haven’t–I don’t get out much, but this looks like an awesome retreat.

I only eat post-its, myself, but my assistants say this dish sounds delicioso.

African or European?

¿Yo? ¡jajajaja!

Tall orders! You can try to convince Americans to pressure their representatives to adopt a foreign policy that encourages these goals. If you have other suggestions for actions, please recommend them.

Just enough info that an extension sounds reasonable. Different for different professors.

Nice to dream, but please don’t count on it as a strategy!

Challenges result in growth, yada, yada. Yeah, you don’t want to hear that right now. You’re stressed about the workload and your grades. I hear you. But I propose a bet: 5 years from now you’ll barely recall the stress, but you will recall what you learned. And the grade? The impact on your life will be minor.

I can feel the tension in the air this time of year, but I also can feel it on the second or third day of exams when people start to relax as they finish their finals. You can do this, each of you. And I’ll be here cheering for everybody.

When you extend trust, people are likely to fulfill it. I’m sorry if that wasn’t true at significant moments and helped to shape your low expectations. You might consider talking to someone about how to safely experiment with extending trust: either a peer wellness coach (https://bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach) or a counselor (bit.ly/BC-counseling).

Some people have more trouble with that than others, so don’t be down on yourself about it. One important thing is to not compare how you feel to how you think other people feel…almost everyone has more going on under the surface than they show. There’s also a difference between choosing how much attention to give unhappy things and completely ignoring them. Start by acknowledging reality, and don’t be shy about feeling how you feel.

The next hurdle – beating The Netherlands this Saturday – will be a tough challenge. But wow, what a nail-biter the Iran match was, right?

I do find the British spelling very colourful.

My Library helpers and their colleagues have revealed some of their favorite dining options:
Chicken Dumpling Soup
Lentil Soup
Mac & Cheese at Hillside on Thursdays
Soups! Lentil is really good; so is escarole white bean
Sushi, by far
I love the veggie soups!
Roasted Vegetable Soup
The big chocolate chip cookies
Corn muffins

Nevermore

Tell Lenore I said hi.

Sounds special!

Standing still. But remember, you’re asking a wall. My favorite aphorism is “Don’t just do something, stand there!” I know you humans move around a lot, so perhaps human happiness has to do with stillness when it’s called for and movement when it’s called for. The Greeks called it Kairos. In the Bible you’ll find an apt & well-known description in Ecclesiastes 3 that was set to music by Pete Seeger: bit.ly/turn-seeger-collins
