Hostels in Rome

I’m a college-aged girl spending a long weekend (Thursday-Sunday) in Rome during October with a similarly college-aged male friend.

Arguing over quotes

I’m blasting away on the third draft of my thesis (it’s about university museums and their role in the non-university community surrounding it.), and it’s going fairly well. The head of my committee, however, has seen a lot of spelling errors, and asked that I correct them. While re-writing it, I saw where; it was [...]

thanks for all and any help

I’m returning to Ireland from France after having spent the summer in Paris and I have a few extra things I’d like to ship back to Dublin that won’t fit [...]

Lecture Recordings

Hi there, : ) I was wondering if anyone records the following course and wants to be my back up buddy for when either of us miss a day? I usually find someone by now but because classes are not allowing laptops people are hard to spot since my classes are pretty big. Let me know! [...]

CHM139

Soooo.. where is CHM139F held this year? The TRF9 class, that is. I’m guessing Convocation hall, but I’d like to make sure I show up at the right place since ROSI won’t tell me (way to be mean to the waitlisted students, man)
