Georgetown Hoyas

Future Hoyas and Georgetown Students feel free to ask questions about life here on the hilltop. I am currently a freshman biology major here at Georgetown. If I cannot answer your question, I will do my best to forward you to someone who can.

Hi guys. So, my godmother lives in Ireland and she is friends with a man who worked on the special effects for the Harry Potter films. She mentioned my love (obsession) and he sent me a few movie props, including two Hogwarts acceptance envelopes. Now, I all ready framed my own envelope and I don’t really have a use for another. So, I’m giving the other away.

NOTE: The envelope is just that, an envelope. There is not a letter inside. The front shows Harry’s address, and the back the Hogwarts moto and symbol. There is also a fake wax seal. (It is not actually wax, it was printed to look like that.)

I want the person who receives it to really love it. So, that’s why I’m doing a giveaway.

RULES

1. REBLOGS ONLY.  Likes will NOT count. (I just don’t think that many people will see it with only likes.)

2. You can reblog this up to 5 times. (Anymore than 5 and you will be disqualified.) I don’t want this spamming people’s dashes.

3. You DO NOT have to be following me to enter. You can win regardless if you follow me or not.

4. You must have your ask ENABLED. I need a way to contact you if you win.

I will ship the prize anywhere. If you live in Antarctica, cool. I’ll get it to you. (It is very thin, so I don’t foresee a problem with even international shipping.)

THE CONTEST ENDS FEBRUARY 29TH. That gives you exactly one month for up to 5 reblogs.

I will use a random number generator to choose the winner.

All right. That’s about it. Good luck!

Dear Students,

I’d like to clarify that our food and beverage policy in the hallway is a 24/7 policy. I have seen a small percentage of students eating food which they have purchased at an end of the day bake sale, in the hallway. If you purchase food after 4:10 P.M., please eat in in the cafeteria or outside. Eating the food in the hallway will have the same consequence as eating it before 4:10.

Thank you for your cooperation,
Mr. L——

I miss the familiarity of the daily rituals we performed at BCA. I miss having a well-worn second home. I miss the coziness of hallways crammed with friends on the floor, and the harsh fluorescent lights that stung my eyes when I’d finally leave school at 7pm. I miss passionate arguments in the breezeway. I miss predictability; people and milieux could always be found in particular places.

A picture began circulating in November. It should be “The Picture of the Year,” or perhaps, “Picture of the Decade.” It won’t be. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the U.S. paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it.The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother’s womb. Little Samuel’s mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner’s remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon’s finger. Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, “Hand of Hope.” The text explaining the picture begins, “The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother’s uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life.”Little Samuel’s mother said they “wept for days” when they saw the picture. She said, “The photo reminds us pregnancy isn’t about disability or an illness, it’s about a little person” Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful. Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome…incredible….and hey, pass it on! The world needs to see this one! —
