Float Trip and Homestay

Hi! This is Naho again.
Yesterday and today we had really busy days.
Yesterday was the presentation day and after the presentation,
we had to move to new domitory.
After that, we had dinner with our host families, and
today we went to Float Trip!
I choose Raft and on one raft, there were 4-5 people.
It was really hard to puddle! My left arm already has muscle sore...
We all slept on the bus to domitory.
Now, I'm writing this at hostfamily's house.
I'm staying with Shinobu! we will go to Illinois State Fair and shopping tommorow!
We can't wait that.
Good night~

Business Plan

Hi!
This is Naho.

Today was one of most important day for us because we had to hand in our printed
business plan!
Also, in today's class we all performed our presentation of business plans as rehearsal for
tommorow, Presentation day!
Tommorow is the most important day and the very end of our project.
Our presentation will be recorded ! It makes me nervous. For me, I think some people
also think so, presenting　in　front of people is harder than doing　it towards camera.
But I'll do my best.
To do so, we need to recreate our presentation　from feedbacks from today's class,
and practice again and again.

I noticed it just now, today was the last day for usual classes by Mr.Klutho(Hiroshi), Ms.Mckee,
and Mr.Hauff. I feel sad...

Today in Ron's class, we played a game.(Sorry I forgot the name)
There were 12 themes like 'Color','Girl's name' or 'Things in a fridge', and　we are given
one letter such as 'D', then think of words fit each theme starts from the given letter.
The answers were the ones which other group didn't think, we got 2 points. If we answer
but others also say same words, both group got just 1 point.
My group with Brandi and Mei was came in first! but Kayla, Sara and Aiko 's group also did,
and unfortunately I lost Janken so couldn't get a prize...OMG!

I hope tomorrow's presentation finish successfully.
See you~

Hi this is mei.

today, we took metro and went to the arch. we were able to go up to the top of the arch. and then, we went to the city museum. we walked a lot, so by the time we came back to the dorm, we were pretty tired. i feel like ever since we came here in st louis, we've been walking a lot. haha

tomorrow, we have field trip. so i hope everyone has a good night sleep tonight and be ready :)

We respect professor MATSUNAGA

I did't know that this morning is the time he leaves.

I was so sad when I heared that he leaves UMSL next morning and I felt so sorry for him.

Because we were busy and didn't really get chance to talk to him. Too bad.

So we planed to send him off back to Japan.

We woke up this morning by 5:30, took shower, get dressed up with fancy cloths.

Our RA Keven Grigoryan, Hideaki Tanaka, Takafum Oguchi and me got in a car and headed to the airport. It was so nice this morning. Not too hot, not cold.

We had a great time at the airport. We had such a wonderful breakfast with professor. This is not like the opportunity that we can easly get.

We were so sad at the time we had to say good bye.

We really hope that he had a safe trip home and got be able to eat healthy and dericious food.

Field Trip

Hello this is Naho. As Sho told in the last post, we
spent really good weekend!
After we left Six Flags we had a dinner at a Asian restaurant called Emperor's Palace and
amazingly we ate Sushi there! There were also
many kinds of Asian foods.






Today we had a field trip to Hillermann Nursery
and Florist whose president is female in Mr
Hauff's Business writing class. We learned the
company's history, saw around the building
including their office. There were fascinating
goods for gardenings so especially girls seemed to
be interested in it. President's talk was really
helpful because it was actual experience of her as
a female owner which is not a majority.


Dinner time will come soon. I'm really hungry!

See you soon~

Classes

Good afternoon!
This is Naho again from St.Louis!
It's 3:30 pm here in the U.S., and it's really hot!
Now I'm very happy because I succeeded in conecting to the Internet.
Yesterday I tried to do it, but from my room in dormitory, I couldn't access the Internet.

Today we enjoyed the very first classes in UMSL. I'm sure everyone was nervous in the morning because we performed our presentation which we prepared in EAP classes.
I hope UMSL teachers and SA enjoyed and liked it.
Ron, the teacher of the class of bussiness writing in the morning told that he was in Shiga prefecture before so I was very surprised! Shiga is pretty close to my hometown, Fukui so he knows about hometown. Surprisingly he have his Japanese name, Hiroshi!
I'll enjoy tommorow's classes with Hiroshi:)

Next time Hide will write. See you soon~
