サンクスギビングの休みにうちでかえりませんでした。ワシントンDCにいきました。とても立派ですでもたかいです。わたしはかぞくにばんごはんをたべました。わたしはべんきょうしませんでした、とてもいそがしかったですよ。でもとてもたのしかったですね。どようびにえいがを見ました。そしておいしいアイスクリームをたべました。わたしもホワイトハウスにいきました。とても大きいですよ。ワシントンDCにおいしいの日本語のレストランがありました。わたしはりょこうがすきですよ。

When I initially sat down to write this post-midterm reflection, I realized exactly how much we have learned over the course of just six weeks (it makes the last half of this semester and even next semester seem very exciting)! Of course, there have been significant challenges along the way, particularly with trying (through trial and error) to find a comfortable and correct speaking style. Interestingly, I thought that the goals I set in the beginning of the semester were quite doable. But with all the time constraints of an active student life, including classes, clubs, etc., it was actually a little more difficult to complete my goals than I thought. However, I will still keep the same goals and activities I initially set out to do, because each week I actually got a little better at implementing everything more consistently. In addition, I will make more of an effort to go to office hours at least once a week, because the most important challenge for me right now is speaking. With consistent effort this semester, I hope that with practice I will see more progress.
