I’m sorry people are doing that. Perhaps let them know that they aren’t the first to notice. Or say, “It’s my cross to bear; I didn’t choose it.” It isn’t remotely meaningful that your surname happens to rhyme with a word in English. Maybe you could even learn all about penguins, and use the tired joke as a cue to inundate someone with penguin facts?

I would say having a very idealistic view of someone suggests infatuation. Placing someone on a pedestal like that can often lead to flaws being ignored and lofty expectations not being met. Love, on the other hand sometimes means having affection for someone whilst being more accepting of whatever flaws they may have.

One of my helpers suggested you name specifics needs: I need some time for x (for example, writing projects, meeting friends for coffee, quiet time to do work, etc.). Hopefully your partner will be understanding.  If not, it might be time to reevaluate if you and your partner have compatible rhythms, and expectations.

Do you mean the new country in the Balkans, slightly smaller than Connecticut, recently a region of Yugoslavia, and before that an independent state after breaking from the Ottoman Empire? It’s an old place with a long history, but a relatively new independent country, currently rebuilding its infrastructure and economy after many years being part of Yugoslavia and sustaining damage during wars in the 1990’s. The coastline and mountains are beautiful. More info: bit.ly/cia-montenegro. Or do you mean the dark comedy Swedish film from 1981?

He would rob Lowe’s, Rob Lowe (so you know), and he would rob all the Lowe’s a Rob Lowe could rob if a Rob Lowe could rob Lowe’s.

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.

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 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?)

Study study study. And honestly a bit of luck. Many of the Wall’s law school friends say that the PowerScore series of LSAT prep books are the best. Unfortunately we don’t have them here and can’t seem to get them via ILL (we tried). I also want to note that standardized test scores tend to be used more as filters in adminssions rather than reasons to accept an applicant. Which is to say that anything over 170 will probably get your application looked at by all of the top law schools. You have to sell yourself as an applicant from there (GPA, extracurriculars, other “soft factors”). Good luck!

It looks like you have your answer! Sort of. Now the trick is to find out who that is & whether it’s someone you’d like to be your boyfriend. I wish you the best of luck in this endeavor. If this particular option doesn’t work, I’m sure there will be others. The key is to be your genuine self.

It’s not wrong, but it’s definitely something you’ll want to talk to your academic advisor about. If you withdraw now the course will be marked with a W on your transcript. And you should also check that your financial aid isn’t affected by the number of credits you’re registered for. http://bit.ly/bc-withdraw
