chicken or egg

Either one would probably be a welcome addition to many household’s provisions right now.

Chicken or Egg? Why not both? You know there’s an Asian dish with chicken in the egg? Btw, do the geese on campus lay eggs 🥚 here? Never seen one before?

Why not both? 😆 🐔 🥚None of my assistants have seen a goose egg on campus, either. That might be because female Canada geese choose nesting sites that are hidden, and adjacent to open water or marsh. I wouldn’t get too close to one, though: male geese are on patrol. For more info: bit.ly/canada-geese

The geese are back!

I can’t get a closer pic of them without them running away from me…… I guess those geese on BC campus are more sensitive? Last year the geese at the hospital tried to bite me when I approached them…… (that’s another reason why BC shouldn’t send students to the hospital, it increase the risk of students being wounded by the geese!) No worries I’m healthy and happy on campus, but any thoughts on what to do for fun? I feel so bored that I mint start chasing geese again……

Geese are notoriously cranky, so it’s best to give them some space. You’re bored? OK, I always forget humans have a much lower capacity for just hanging out than I do. There are about as many lists of suggestions for things to do online as there are grains of sand. Here’s one that looks decent: bit.ly/bc-bored. Boston.com does a weekly list of reasons to get out of the house on the weekend, but they’ve flipped it–here are their suggestions: bit.ly/bc-bored1. Those are some starting places, anyway. Stay safe, be well.

Hey wall! The wall of Gasson Bell 🛎 says it has a crush on you! . . . . . . (Just jk, Happy April Fool’s Day) But it’s sad……with the Governor extending business closing, how do I send April Fool’s Day gift 🎁 to ppl?

I’d have fallen for your joke, but I’m already familiar with the Gasson bell tower wall; they’re a little too… highbrow for me. You don’t need to buy a gift. Just send one of these interesting AI neural-net-generated April Fools pranks: bit.ly/ai-april-fool

For student who go abroad, does the insurance that BC requires us to purchase covers therapy here in Boston? How’s it different from BC’s BCBS student plan? meow?

Edited: For student who go abroad, does the insurance that BC requires us to purchase covers therapy here in Boston? E.g. Can I still do virtual therapy session with my therapist even if we’re in two parts of the world, with whatever that global insurance plan BC requires? (Lol if I’m not kicked out by the therapist by then loooool) How’s it different from BC’s BCBS student plan? meow?

I don’t know. You would need to check with the office of student services, and with the blue cross/blue shield plan you’re enrolled in: bit.ly/bc-insurance. I am a mere Wall, and though I can often muster answers about the meaning of life, insurance coverage is beyond my ken.

For students who stay on campus, does the weekly meal plan money from the financial aid office rolls over to next semester?

(Btw, thank you BC for the very needed meal plan assistance)

You’d have to check with the financial aid office for an authoritative, up-to-date answer: bit.ly/bc-fin-aid

The FA office has responded! (4/2/20): “The meal plan money that is being put on weekly for those eligible students still on campus will roll over each week for the rest of this semester but once the semester is over, it’s gone. It does not roll forward into next year’s plan.”

What other pics would you like to see?

Shout out to the piece by piece workers who worked pass 1am last week when students moved. (And ResLife Staff who worked really hard) 🙂

Shout out to everybody working hard right now, and to everybody who’s still feeling a little wobbly. I’d love to see some pictures of other walls in your life. And I’m curious how the Million Dollar Steps are holding up.

I miss our furry friends! Here’s the furry friend of one of my assistants.

Awwwwwwww so cute! 
What’s the coolest pet you’ve ever seen? 

My 2nd cousin, who is a wall at a very well-known Upper Manhattan site, has some fabulous pet tapestries….

Pic of BC! Will the construction be delayed?

Construction projects have stopped because they are not considered essential work. Boston projects stopped a week earlier because of a city restriction. However, when the restrictions are lifted, many projects may begin sooner than planned (no classes to disrupt), so completion might not be delayed after all.

SHOULD I DO A THESIS??? i want to go to grad school, but don’t want that type of commitment my senior year :/ thoughts?

That is entirely up to you. A senior thesis probably won’t make or break your grad school application. Most people that go to grad school haven’t done a senior thesis. But it will certainly help your application. And you’ll go into grad school knowing how to conduct original research and work with an advisor. That can make the process easier for you. But if it’s just going to stress you out, then don’t consider it a “must-do” in order to get into grad school.

Hi, Wall. What’s the move online been like?

It’s a little weird, gotta say. Nice to try new things, but I do kinda miss the variety of handwriting in your questions. Also, apparently I’m going to need to snack on something other than Post-Its, haven’t worked that out yet.
