It’s tomorrow now, and all we had was a 10 AM delayed opening. I hope it worked for you.
Will there be a snowday tomorrow?
It’s nice to see u here over Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you! I had a good break over Thanksgiving. I expect I will be very grateful for that as we head into the home stretch of the semester. I don’t have finals or papers, but it’s a busy time for me.
I feel so sad all the time and I wish things were just normal again. What can I do to feel better?
I’m so sorry you’re feeling sad all the time. That must be hard. I would begin by setting up an appointment with University Counseling Services: bit.ly/BC-counseling. I hear they’re quite busy, so it might take a while. In the meantime, if your sadness gets to be too strong and you don’t think you can wait to talk to someone, call the counseling center and ask to talk to the PEC (psychological emergency clinician), or text the national Crisis Text Line: 741741.

You’re setting the (h-)bar really high. I may be reduced to walking the Planck and sinking into the wave function.
What does burging mean?
I’ve found such a wide variety of definitions that it must be one of many obscure and recently coined words that’s either highly situation-specific or has hopped into the meme and/or trolling-the-urban-dictionary category. Pre-internet, groups of people coined new words all the time; those words had brief, anonymous, unheralded lives. Now that those brief coinages get wider play on sites like Urban Dictionary, it’s become a game to try to boost their usage. If you’re playing that game, good luck! May “burging” be the next “yeet,” or if it really hits the big time, “jawn.”

} Why hasn’t BC taken away that [redacted]’s BC degree away.
![Why hasn't BC taken away that [redacted]'s BC degree away. Telling someone to suicide is so wrong and not BC values.](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/aw112619-3.jpg)
It’s a case fraught with emotion, and challenges us all to remain committed to deeply held values. As a supportive wall, I’m fully aware of the anger and calls for retribution, and understand that response. As a wall at a Jesuit institution, I am also tasked with accepting the value of grace, and as an American wall, committed to the principle that someone is innocent until proven guilty. So far, the accused is only that: accused. If she is found guilty, the court will take care of sentencing. I’m not sure there’s precedent for BC rescinding the degree of someone found guilty of criminal charges. In fact, BC has recently demonstrated its commitment to grace by starting an education in prisons program. I hope the case successfully establishes the truth and serves justice, and the young man’s family is able eventually to find some closure.
Why do I have to incorporate Jesuit principles into my Master’s thesis even though I am an atheist?
IDK. You might want to raise that question with your professor or advisor to get some clarification, if you don’t feel Jesuit principles have a bearing on your thesis. It’s possible their explanations will help you locate some relevant principles you can include. Not knowing your course of study or the subject of your thesis, I can’t really be any more precise.
Should Coach Addazio be fired?
Given that the BC football team was in the Top 25 earlier in the season, I can understand how a lot of folks feel really disappointed with how things have gone this year. It seems as if there’s a growing number of fans who believe the team can and should be doing better. A few of the team’s defeats were by 7 points or less, so one can hope the team is capable of getting more wins in the future.
I am really really disappointed about myself nearly failing a class that I’m majoring in. … What should I do?
You are not your grades, or your work, or the idea of yourself that you or others have. Be gentle with yourself, maybe talk to your advisor and some faculty in your major about what you could improve, but don’t take it as a judgment on you, because it’s not. Figure out what you need to do to get where you want to go, let people know about it, and you will sometimes find that the world finds ways to help you. I have great confidence in you, you’ll be fine.
Just wanted to tell you that I appreciate you! Happy Thanksgiving <3
I am grateful for all of you coming to visit me. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Are actors good significant others?
They can be? I suppose the concern here is that an actor could act like they are interested in you even when they’re not. In reality, there are plenty of people that aren’t actors by trade that can be good at acting or faking emotions (part of the definition of psychopathy is the ability to do this). And there are plenty of bad actors that try to make a living out of it. Actor, as a profession, doesn’t tell you anything about whether the person wears their heart on their sleeve, is private, controlling, manipulative, loving, introspective, etc. People run a wide gamut, and their chosen profession usually doesn’t tell you much about them more an any stereotype about any other group of people.
Wall I invite u to watch Frozen 2 w/ me!
I’m touched by the invitation! I will be there in spirit; please let me know what you thought of it.
Disney employs some good songwriters. From Dumbo to Frozen, it’s a rare Disney film without a few good numbers.
How do I sneak a doggy into 2k
I wouldn’t advise it. Discovery would lead to removal and fines (bit.ly/ResRules) Why not come visit our lovely therapy dogs when they come back to the library in December? Dates and doggos will be posted!
What do you think about MATH 2216? (abstract math)
It’s logical. But complex.
How do you shoot your shot?
Move into space, aim, press circle (sometimes square), and hope for the best. If I score, I celebrate. If I miss, I blame scripting.
There’s an interesting rumor involving the two brands. Supposedly, Stephen Curry lost interest in becoming a Nike athlete after a disatrous presentation intended for Kevin Durant was mistakenly shown to him. While Nike has a well established reputation as an athletic apparel giant, it will be interesting to see how Under Armour tries to make a name for itself going forward.
Are you going to get Disney+?
So tempting for any classic animation enthusiast, and lots of newer content as well. But I think I’ll be content with what the library offers me (and you): Popular movies on DVD right next to me, lots more DVDs across the lobby (check the catalog at library.bc.edu), and all the streaming options on this guide: bit.ly/StreamBC.
Why doesn’t UCS have a feedback mailbox or something similar?
I had a helper communicate with the Director of UCS, Dr. Burns, and he responded: UCS conducts a period of open survey every semester systematically seeking student feedback and students are welcome to communicate feedback directly with the Director of UCS.
How do I stop myself from procrastinating?
Get the assignment, the readings, data, etc. that you need for the project assembled on your desk/open on your computer. Open up whatever software you’ll be using to complete the project and create the file. Now you’re off to a running start. Or try working with a friend to hold yourselves accountable to deadlines (and set those deadlines comfortably ahead of due dates, because…. things happen.) And consider Academic Coaching at the CFLC to develop good time management habits: bit.ly/BC-connors.
Do you like Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon 1900?
THE BEST! For those who don’t know The Legend of 1900, it’s a treat of a film. Watch a clip: bit.ly/1900-storm-dance. You can also check out the full film and watch it: O’Neill Library, near Reference Collection, 3rd Floor: PN1997 .L4446 2002
