I concentrated on preparing and practicing my presentation for 2 weeks. On 4/4 and 4/11, Gordon-sensei gave me consultation time. On 4/6, 4/8, and 4/14, I received advice from Ms. Colette, and on 4/12, Gavin, Stacie, Hannah, Kyle, and Shiori supported me to rehearsal.
I gave a presentation on 4/15; I am a little disappointed that I did not answer some questions well, but I am grateful for this valuable opportunity. I'll try to consider the questions on the forum at a later date. Afterward, I had dinner at Gyukaku with Reischauer Postdocs.
On 4/16 I walked around Mount Aubin Cemetery and cooked steaks; on 4/17 Asano-sensei gave us a day tour of Concord and Lexington attractions.
