Sushi
"We had sushi today! The Japanese professor from Washington and Lee came to instruct us on how to make our own sushi. After his presentation on sushi, we got into our dinner groups and made sushi with raw salmon, shrimp, tuna and crab. We ate the raw fish with our seasoned rice- rice with vinegar, salt and sugar. Even though not everyone liked sushi, we were excited to be making real sushi on our own. It was a good time to try out our new San-J Tamari soy sauce that we got yesterday!" -Courtney G. and Liam K.

Studying for Test!
"Each class is working on their class assignments. The beginner class is writing an essay and prepping for the final exam. The intermediates are working on their video skit for their assignment. The advanced class' final project is a mystery, but most likely involve with kanjis. Each task will test how much each students have learned over the course of the academy." Adam K.
Looking forward to...
"Thursday is the day of Variety Show. There are 12 exciting acts lined up for the show ranging from duets accompanied by acoustic guitars to a highly energized display called "The Rubix Cute Challenge"- By Alex F. and Nathan N. We are all looking forward to the show as we have been seeing small bits of the acts while the groups practice day and night. We wish the performers the best of luck. We can't wait to see the show!"

"As this will be our pen ultimate blog post, we'll take this time to say goodbye. The Japanese Academy was an amazing and exciting experience that none of us would have traded for the world. The students, RAs and teachers are like a family. The friendships we have made will carry on far past the closing ceremony. What Lawless-Sensei said at the opening ceremony was all true: While we have missed our parents in the beginning of the academy, tears and hugs will be for our new friends by the end of the ceremony. We will never forget the amazing time spent here in the academy. We are all looking forward to see our parents on Sunday, July 14, 2013." - Amber S.
