On 2/15 and 3/1 were held the Master and Bachelor final oral defenses, respectively. Miwa-kun kindly posted this news here. Thank you so much, Miwa-kun, for recreating the webpage with a wonderful design! You can also find the blog news of the graduation ceremony and farewell party here.
Next, on 3/22, we had the Master and Bachelor graduation ceremony. That day, Ajioka-kun (M2), Kinoshita-kun (M2), and Terasaki-kun (M2) graduated. For bachelors, Ito-kun (B4), Kagami-kun (B4), Magae-kun (B4), and Maeyashiki-kun (B4) graduated and will all pursue a Master degree. Congratulations, everyone!

The ceremony lasted from 12:30 to 13:30, which was quite long. So next, we headed to the University of Toyama to have our farewell party. Everything was very well organized by Miwa-kun. He bought a lot of food with Mizumoto-kun and prepared everything. Thank you so much, Miwa-kun!
Around 14:30, I entered the lab but none of the graduated students were there... Then, all B4, Terasaki-kun and our alumni Tsunekawa-kun showed up! We had a pre-dinner with everyone since everyone were so hungry...

Then Ajioka-kun and Kinoshita-kun joined us, and we had a yakiniku with everyone. After that, M2 students shared with me a very touching present (a car key holder), which I will treasure it everytime I ride my car. Thank you so much! Next, Miwa-kun gave the graduation presents to all the M2 students.

Late at night, we had very long sessions of playing UNO and Werewolf (Jinro) card games. It was very fun, and Ajioka-kun was always winning the Werewolf game. Anyway, it was very fun and I hope to beat Ajioka-kun next time!
