Week 62: Spring socials

All four people I met up with this week were my colleagues from the university who are visiting Tokyo for their holidays. We strolled from town to town, had some food and drinks, and watched a Kabuki performance.

My schedule in March is nearly full with observation work. I am a bit worried about whether I have enough time to prepare for the focus groups taking place in two weeks.

 

 

My achievements in Week 62

  • made nine observations and collected two audio recordings
  • participated in a seminar in which I had an opportunity to listen to a patient’s illness story

Goals for Week 63

  • continue my observations, recordings and literature review
  • start recruiting further participants for the focus groups
