No, not Nachos, Naches. That’s yiddish for…naches. Ok no good English translation (as usual). Not quite pride. More like a feeling of ease or peace for the spirit.

I just had a visit from an excited student who’s just been accepted to a new media MFA program.

A few days ago, a different student who’d answered a conference CFP (call for papers) as part of a homework assignment for Video Game Culture and Theory told me his paper had been accepted. I’ve already blogged about a student whose term paper for one of my lit classes was accepted at an undergraduate lit conference.

Such naches ..ahhh…
