  1. After three straight semesters of remote classes only, one of my schools is switching to exclusively in-person classes. Students can opt out, however, in which case instructors have to provide equivalent instruction.

  2. I’m looking to do more quantitative research going forward. Does anyone know a good textbook or other resource which explains basic quantitative research methods? Like, beginner level type stuff. Anything would help.

  3. For the second time my eikaiwa has shutdown for a month for COVID. The pay cut is killing me. I’m just trying to build up my life here in Japan after living super minimally for the first year so I could travel. But now being mostly at home all the time, I got tired of being in an empty space.
