I’m sorry you’re in that situation. Unfortunately, unless you’re King Midas, a business star, or a card shark, or marry into wealth (you’ll earn every penny) or a rich aunt dies and leaves you everything, a job is about the only way forward. I recommend a visit to the career center for longer term work, or dining services or area businesses for shorter-term: my assistants have seen a lot of help wanted signs.

This has been a question that philosophers and theologians have grappled with for centuries. Check out this book Free Will: A Very Short Introduction (bit.ly/introfreewill) to learn more about the question and make up your own mind (maybe as an exercise in your own free will?).

One of my helpers suggests you also ask yourself how you feel about -27°F.

Prague is a beautiful city to explore! The Castle and Strahov Monastery are both beautiful (the monastery even has a library which I’m biased towards since I live in one too). If you enjoy walks, there are many parks and river walks. Oh, and check out the Lennon Wall and say hi for me.

I don’t think anyone can answer that question. If you’re uncomfortable with your identity, perhaps talk to someone confidentially, such as a counselor: bit.ly/BC-counseling. If you don’t mind being more open about your sexuality, please know there are people at BC you can reach out to: bit.ly/LBGTQBC.

Fundraising can seem daunting, but keep in mind you are asking for money for a good cause. And you will be riding some serious miles to prove it is important to you. For detailed advice, try the latest edition of Fundraising for dummies (no offense meant!) online from the library: https://bc-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/l6ucgu/ALMA-BC51579070730001021
