I've had many wonderful experiences with my RA and group members during the tutorial time. I have especially enjoyed three group activities.
First, I was excited when we played a volleyball game. We played with another group in front of our dormitory. It was a little cold on that day, but I like sports, especially volleyball, so I really enjoyed the time. We usually do tutorials with only our own group members and RA. At that time, we played volleyball with other group members and their RA. I thought it was a good opportunity to know and communicate with them. I enjoyed the game and it was a wonderful time. If we have a chance, I want to play it again.

| Delicious Japanese food |
Secondly, we enjoyed a nabe party as a group activity. The nabe is a kind of Japanese food, a one-pot dish cooked at the table. The day before the party, some of our group members and me went to Shadle Center to buy the ingredients for nabe. We bought some Chinese cabbage, chicken, sausage and tofu. The next day, I was really looking forward to the nabe party all day, because it is one of my favorite Japanese foods. After school, we cut the ingredients and cooked them. After a short time, we started to eat. It was very tasty! I've never put sausages into nabe before. I tried them for the first time and they were delicious. I'm going to try putting sausages into my nabe when I go back to Japan. After that, we put noodles into a pot and they tasted very good. I was really glad to eat Japanese food after a long time.
Finally, we played a very exciting game downtown. The name was Laser Quest, which is a kind of shooting game. I heard it is a very interesting and fun game, so I've wanted to try it. At first, we registered our player names and were given some explanations about the game. However, it was a little difficult for me to understand what the clerk said, because he spoke very fast. In addition, we were in a small dark room, so I was scared out the atmosphere. After that, we went downstairs and put on some protective equipment, then we played the game. I couldn't understand well what was happening when the game started, because I couldn't understand clerk's explanation. However, the more I played it, the better I became and I enjoy it. We played for about twenty minutes and then we received our own result of the match. My RA's record was very good and a higher rank. It was an exciting and a wonderful time.
I think it is a pretty good experience to do many activities with my group members and RA. I want to do more interesting and valuable things and to enjoy my life here while I stay in America with them.
