It has been a lot of fun...

There will be no discussions of Momoyama art today because I have too much to do. But please let me know if you are very interested, I can provide a list of readings for you…

To my own astonishment, I am less than 10 days a way from surviving my first semester in Japanese class. Quite an accomplishment in my opinion. It has been, without a doubt, the most challenging and time-consuming class that I have ever taken (and I was a mechanical engineering major!).

I am well aware that I am not gifted at all when it comes to languages (just ask my French teachers at Stanford). But I think learning Japanese is a lot like learning snowboarding—it’s very difficult at the beginning, but once you pass that threshold of a total beginner, you get used to it and progress well. In other words, I am not getting as many face-plants as I used to…

To my Senseis, TAs and classmates, it has been a pleasure knowing and learning from you all. Happy Holidays! See you next year!
