            Today was the big day! The only thing that was on the schedule were the presentations at 5, so every group pretty much worked on their presentations right up until the 3:00 deadline. I thought our group presentation went okay, as there were a couple of technical things we could have fixed and the biggest thing was that we went over the 20-minute max by about 2 minutes. Going in we were not really sure if the 20 minutes was a recommendation or requirement, and realized too late that it was a requirement. But besides that I believe everyone spoke well and did their job, and everyone was so happy it was over with and we were finally able to fully enjoy the cultural side of our trip without the presentation hanging over our head. After everyone went, we all went out and celebrated the official start of summer for the Americans, which was very fun!
