????????????????????????????????????????????????

Oh, hello all my wonderful animal friends! It’s so good to see you all.Also, ?️, ?, ? and ?.

Zzzzzz… What? What? Where? Who? I wasn’t asleep, just resting my eyes. Oh, look, we made it to the weekend! ????? And we even made it through the weekend and out the other side! ?

That is a puzzling human characteristic, that the small differences between members of the same species should be the cause of such hate. Walls and you are all just different combinations of the same molecules anyway.

Hamilton is the only music I’m listening. Listening to it on 2x and normal speed sounds equally natural and I know every lyrics (thought not to the level where I can recall the full musical without help). I’ve listened to it more than any other song (and this isn’t even a song) in my whole life. Should I be concerned? I don’t see the light out of this hole. 

This can have a broad range of meaning, would you like to clarify?

If not sooner!

Have you ever been in this situation, but reversed?

That sounds really uncomfortable for a (presumably) non-wall being, and I hope that gets resolved quickly. Can’t say I’ve had the opposite, although I occasionally travel for conferences and such–but I think that’s different.

Side effects (which may be the desired effects for ingesting it) include dizziness and hallucinations. Research on the full range of effects is still in early stages. It is currently illegal in several states, as well. More info: bit.ly/SalviaEffects

I believe it would depend on whether you are drinking responsibly or not. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with going to bars every weekend as long as you drink in moderation.

The promised Hamilton questions:
1. Why do so many people love George? Their screams when he showed up for the first time were crazy. Is it the actor or character they are screaming for?
2. Why is Samuel Seabury and “Farmer Refuted” so underrated? This may be the best character and song, yet no one seems to talk about him and it…
3. Why do so many people obsessively love Thomas? I find him rather annoying and mean.
4. What’s up with the Hamilton and Laurens ‘more than friends’ stuff? How can anyone think of this?! And in the comments of some videos I see there is even fan fiction. With all my respect, WHAT?! I remember reading a few letters between both of them and the way Hamilton wrote was more intimate than one would expect, but I mean, that you are very close with a friend who happens to be the same gender, doesn’t mean you have a relationship with him! And let’s not forget Maria! If he ‘wasn’t into female’, why would he let Maria take advantage of him?! Why would he have so many children with Elizabeth?! There is something really messed up here.

1. I’m guessing because of the actor, Jonathan Groff, known for appearing on Glee and Mindhunter, and voice work in Frozen.
2. A great character sometimes takes a hit in audience esteem by dint of being a foil for the protagonist.
3. (Corollary to 2): A great character is sometimes great because they represent something (e.g. meanness) really well.
4. You’re right, a good many behaviors from other times or places could be misconstrued by looking at them through the lens of our current geographical-cultural moment. It’s possible that male intimacy was on a spectrum that parts of were acknowledged only in private letters, and we’re the ones retrospectively labeling it with a category that went unnamed (and unacknowledged) at the time. That kind of thing is always a risk in cross-cultural and cross-historical representation.

Talking on the phone can be a bit daunting! The reason is because they need to have each student speak to a nurse before booking to make sure they are directing students to the appropriate covid/non-covid entrance. There are nuances to this decision which the daily tracker could miss.

Tricky. Usually only visible right around Easter. You could check and see if anyone furry is restocking shelves with leftover candy. And for more on rabbits in mythology worldwide, you could try: http://bit.ly/bc-mythical-zoo

And thanks for being a wall. Have you considered transfiguring into different things? E.g. A ceiling, a door, a mailbox, or perhaps an unicorn walking around campus?

I’m happy with my present form, thanks. My helpers have had a couple of conversations about enlisting the Bibliosaurus or maybe some robots to help with providing services, so we’re broadly open to experimentation. And make no mistake, even though our mailbox isn’t answering questions, it’s one of the more important ways we get you the things you need.

UHS does not have the facilities for ultrasounds on campus, but if you see a UHS doctor and they determine you need an ultrasound, they will set you up with one at an area hospital.

I have not. I try to have my assistants respond within a day on weekdays, but sometimes their other library work takes precedence. Sometimes, too, answers are contingent on hearing back from other campus offices, which often slows down responses.

Hey wall! I realize you’re kinda of like a psychoanalyst cuz you don’t have face so you’re just an object for us to project our feelings to. But you also have that mixture of humanity cuz you respond. This is quite an interesting attachment, hm?

Thank you for the array of animal sounds! Meow! Please keep in mind that I’m not at all a psychoanalyst or any other kind of counselor or doctor, and if you need that kind of support you should always seek it from people with relevant training, such as from bit.ly/bc-counseling or bit.ly/BostonCollegeHealth.

First, if I plug some rods into the brain of someone and record the neuron activity when they eat Nutella, then analyze what part of the activity had to do with the taste. Then convert it into an electric current I can transmit to you, so that you can experience the pleasure of eating Nutella and hook some rods at you, will it work? Second, do I have to ask a question to get an answer? Third, how do you answer questions? Can you see them, can you write? Does the color of your paint affect your personality? Do you like the color brown?

1. If you can find somewhere to connect those rods, this could be interesting. 2. If you don’t ask the question, nobody (including me) will know you have one. 3. This is more than one question, and it’s complicated. Let’s just my librarian assistants and I have a close bond and understand each other. As to the color of walls, let me just say that paint fades or weathers, but the wall itself persists.

My plan? Hahaha. (That’s supposed to be evil laughter.)

You can email websupport@bc.edu and discuss the situation with them.

Not at this point. According to the BC Reopening site (bit.ly/BCReopenFAQ) “Vaccinated students are still subject to asymptomatic surveillance testing, but as of 3/8/2021, per the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, students who have gotten two doses of the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines or one dose of the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine more than 14 days ago, are not required to quarantine following an exposure.”
