One possibility is to think of it as a challenge, and all challenges are character-building. What you do to adapt to the flaw becomes part of your character – perhaps even one of the best parts of your character – that you wouldn’t have without the flaw. In essence, turn the “flaw” into a source of growth, something that anyone without that flaw doesn’t get to experience. Another possibility: recognize that everyone has limitations of one kind or another, many of them invisible. IOW, you aren’t alone in the challenge of accepting yourself as you are.

The “sculpture” is actually display shelving designed and built by Prof. Mark Cooper. Students in the ceramics classes will be displaying their artwork on the shelves. The exhibit will be up from Nov 18th to mid-December.

I don’t know! But I can have my assistants find out.

I’m not sure if you’ll get the results you’re hoping for in about a month’s time, but initiative is key.

Not sure what you’re asking, but I am strongly in favor.

A recent post had the math dept. restroom (with shower!) on a bucket list, so it must be pretty special. It also has the virtue of being nearby… which could be the most important criterium when it’s, uh, urgent.

Being physically miserable often goes along with depression, so you might try focusing on getting cozy. Hide under a heap of blankets until you warm up, or crank up the heat in your room until it’s comfortable to walk around in clothes you like. One of my helpers did the turn-up-the-heat trick and had a beach party in February. And yes, talking to other people can absolutely help too, so you might try that as well–another part of depression is often isolation. And of course, if the depression continues it’s a good idea to consider talking to someone at Counseling Services. http://bit.ly/BCCounselingSvcs

Little known shower. Kudos for finding & using! May the rest of the items on your bucket list be equally achievable.

Woody is great and all, but because what I am every day is created by you I’d have to say Forky makes more sense to me. Trash!

It is not okay for the faculty member to ask you out. BC policy states: “The University prohibits any faculty member or other employee from engaging in a romantic or sexual relationship or in any romantic or sexual conduct with any student currently enrolled as an undergraduate at Boston College.” If you’re a grad student, you can have a relationship with a faculty member in another department or school, but as you are taking a class with this person, that exception probably doesn’t apply either.

Yupppp

Figuring out what x equals.

These are all great questions that you’ll spend your life trying to figure out!

looks around thoughtfully. Ask me a different time I’ll give you a different answer, but for right now: The New Dictionary of the History of Ideas. It takes concepts like Determinism or Europe and gives you a quick history of how people have thought about it from the cooling of the Earth to the present. http://bit.ly/bc-idea-dictionary

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Be gentle with yourself. Maybe don’t jump right into the next relationship before you’ve had time to process this one (or maybe that’s exactly what you need). Everybody handles grief differently–and even if the relationship sucked, part of what you’re doing is grieving for something you spent a good bit of your life on.
