After check-in, opening ceremony, and a tearful good-bye to family, students took part in several ice-breaker games led by the three RAs: Chung-senpai, Tomomatsu-senpai, and Sabo-senpai. We learned the rules of the academy and were introduced to all of the faculty. Those with prior Japanese experience were given a placement test to help find a class that was best suited to them (Intermediate vs. Advanced). Everyone had dinner (bangohan) together for the first time. Later we had our first nightly meeting, where we reflected on their day, before going to bed. Even though it was a relatively short day, I still felt exhausted (in a good way!) by the end.
