Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
It’s no real secret; it’s just become a very competitive process. You best bet is to follow the requirements (bit.ly/BC-admissions), and put good effort into your application and essays, and into choosing the teachers who will evaluate you. Wishing you all the luck!
Alas, the only seafood restaurant close by is Legal Seafood over at the Street, which fortunately does do a good job. Other possibilities that are nearby (but may be difficult to get to without transportation) are Steamers at 311 Watertown Street in Newton, and Shaking Crab, also in Newton at 203 Adams Street. There are many good seafood restaurants if you want to hop on the T and go in town though, such as the classic Union Oyster House.
Probably a walrus, goo goo g’joob
As both a source of pain (when it’s rebuffed or withheld) and pleasure (when it’s reciprocated) it certainly contains multitudes & conflicts. If it weren’t a paradox, then Pascal Bruckner’s bestseller in France, Paradoxe Amoureux, or Paradox of Love (bit.ly/BC-paradox – click Books at JSTOR for English version), might not have been a bestseller. It’s also paradoxical in that the more you give,
Cracking your neck and back can bring relief to a stiff joint, but it’s important to make sure that you aren’t forcing cracks by using your hands on your head or forcing a twist in your back beyond what is comfortable. There are many delicate nerves as well as ligaments that can be damaged by forced manipulation. If you feel as though your neck and back are stiff, try some gentle stretching, yoga, or using a foam roller. If you’re not getting any relief, look for a Chiropractor! They are properly trained in freeing up your joints.
Everyone experiences love differently, and it tends to be a little different each time, so it’s hard to generalize. Do you want to be? Because even in a stereotypical romance, after the initial phase of blurry happiness, love is ultimately about choosing to be a particular way with a particular person.
Excellent! I’ll be here.
However you choose to tell them, do it soon so they can start to make other plans for the lottery. I reckon they’d rather you be awkward and prompt than late and full of grace & wit.
The library printers are only 3 years old, but with about 10 million pages printed each year at BC, it’s no wonder that the printers are getting finicky. Library and ITS staff have already started exploring which printers and print management systems will replace what we currently have.
Being a wall, my diet is composed almost entirely of post-its, though I do also enjoy the scents of food wafting through the library, and potatoes are a favorite in that department. Many of my human assistants enjoy potatoes. One has a partner who claims to have eaten potatoes prepared 52 different ways. The Potato in the Human Diet (O’Neill Library TX558.P8 W63 1987) says potatoes are grown in 132 of 167 independent countries. For the potato-obsessed, I must recommend reading Potato: a history of the propitious esculent. (O’Neill Library SB211 .P8 R43 2009).
Inside Chronic Pain (bit.ly/BC-inside-chronic-pain – click on Books at JSTOR) by Lous Heshusius, provides a first-hand account of 10 years of treating her chronic pain and talks about the importance of rooting oneself in the present. Another book, Mayo Clinic on Chronic Pain (bit.ly/mayo-chronic – click on EBSCOhost eBooks) provides strategies for finding the balance you’re looking for. I hope you’re using accommodations available to you under ADA rules; contact Disability Services (disabsrv@bc.edu) if you haven’t done so already. Your day-to-day efforts are truly heroic; make sure you let folks help you.
Great idea! Too late for this semester, but worth exploring if you still need to take Perspectives in the future.
You are not the first to complain about the condition of my long-suffering colleagues, the bathroom walls. Crews clean them several times a day, but that doesn’t always keep up with the heavy use. Requests to have the bathrooms refinished have been put on hold pending decisions on larger renovation plans. For now, I’ll ask you to please treat the bathrooms with the respect they deserve even if they don’t always show their appreciation.
Because the library is awesome? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There are a whole bunch of things that could make that a tricky situation. But consider: there are lots of reasons why a relationship might not work out, many of which you can’t find out about until you know someone better. If you have concerns, be open about them, but the Wall encourages you not to worry too much about things that might happen. If there is trouble later you can address it then.
It’s always sad when those you admire fall short of your expectations. But please don’t feel sorry for the penguin- it’s size and shape are perfectly adapted to the cold climate they call home.
More a Tom Watson fan, but I’m an old timer. The ’82 US Open happened while O’Neill was under construction, and this is still an epic way to win. http://bit.ly/bc-pga

1/30/2019 12:48pm (time thrown in for good measure). If you’re seeking a romantic relationship, I should say that I’m already pretty attached to O’Neill Library.
