Well, as a wall, I don’t wear much make up. But I love when people do what makes them happy! So if you love make up, rock your look!

Please just don’t! Unless there is something truly offensive (and not just in terms of taste), they are entitled to their own choice of decor and your comments pobably won’t be welcome. Lead by example, and do an amazing job on your own room?

I really want to say it’s this one: https://nyti.ms/3rMIbb6. But actually my helpers do a thing with Post-Its stuck to a Word template. The font is Courier, which is absolutely a standard typewriter font.

I’d spend the day here in O’Neill Library, but I’m a wall. If I were a human, I’d take a stroll in the North End for its charming mix of colonial history and Italian treats. Fortify yourself with an affogato at Caffe Vittoria.

Thank you so much for coming back to visit me! Makes my day! ❤️

I got these for free – what do you think?

The films are at the O’Neill circulation desk. The copies of the book series at O’Neill are all out. The theology and ministry library on the Brighton campus has a copy, though Fellowship of the Ring (book 1) is checked out and due back on Oct 22.

I don’t know, but if you’re concerned, perhaps you should arrange a meeting with a psychologist with a specialty in learning. If you’re not sure how to go about that, contact Kathy Duggan at the Connors Family Learning Center: kathleen.duggan@bc.edu.

Would you do it if you sucked at it? Often a good clue.

Don’t dismiss loving yourself! You’re awesome! But if you’re having difficulty moving on, or depressed, it would probably help to talk to someone, such as a counselor at BC’s Counseling Services: bit.ly/BC-counseling

It’s been the lingering effects of Hurricane Ian. Good news is the winds are forecast to be light for several days to come.

Sadness and joy both come to mind. But really, all emotions are pure. Sometimes one experiences several at a time, but that doesn’t mean they’re not pure, just mixed. Also, sometimes people aren’t really aware what emotions they’re experiencing, but that doesn’t mean they’re not experiencing them or that they’re not pure. Emotions are what they are. It’s how we respond that matters.

We’re talking to them about it, but at the moment they want to charge us more for it than for the other two combined…and both are pricey. We do have access to it through our databases though, so you can use this link to search for things you’ve seen on the web, or to browse through each day’s issue: https://bit.ly/bc-globe

There is help for Globalization I (and all your other courses) with peer tutoring at the Connocrs Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors). Also, do make use of your professor’s office hours to discuss your problem areas and how to best understand the material.

Telling a friend they’re more than a friend, no matter the gender, can be challenging. It depends on what the risks are and what you’re willing to risk, and then what you do in the face of uncertainty. I recommend confiding in someone who can support you no matter what happens.

The basics are both simple and yet quite challenging to put into practice. Good sleep, healthy eating, regular exercise, and managing your stress can have very good outcomes. For coaching to start and maintain these habits, contact the Office for Health Promotion (bit.ly/BC-health-promo).

I sure am! But please be safe. Take care of yourself and look out for others ?.
