A weblog on the academic life of Onigiriman──literally "riceball man"──a pseudonym for a third-generation Japanese American who drifts through life in search of textual meaning and cultural identity.
The Japanese Institute for Language and Culture has begun and I cautiously optimistic. All students actually showed up and they are rather enthusiastic. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the summer institute will be successful and productive.
Congratulations to the class of 2010. Glad to see you graduated without incident. Always a good thing. It was a pleasure meeting the parents of some of my favorite students and see where they actually got their genes from. I was very impressed.
...and all that's left are Finals. Believe me when I say, I do NOT like to give bad grades, but I also do not give out grades like candy. You have to earn it, so study hard.
