The first day of the project was interesting. Lots of locations to remember, when to be where. The researchers gave a short presentations on their research which was very interesting. Some concerns at this point: is the project I have been assigned to going to be “over my head.” The researchers that we will be working with are very interesting and I am excited that they are from parts of the world that I have never met anyone from. There is a little concern that being unfamiliar with their specific accents that it may take a few days to get “tuned into” the accents well enough to understand what they have to say.
