Two of my new classes began yesterday–both about things Japanese. One is a small undergraduate course about Japanese culture. It should be fun. The other is a seminar about the state of the field of Japanese Art History. It’s possibly a little esoteric, but I think I will enjoy it. In any case I don’t have to do any work if I don’t want to. And both professors allow me to be an integral part of the class even though I am only auditing. Next week my Osher classes begin. (That’s the senior citizen stuff.)
