Yesterday I went to the Kuzuha mall with my friend's from Momoyama University and Kansai Gaidai. Both of them went to UCM so it was good seeing familiar faces. We talked about our families and they asked how my family was doing. As we were walking around the different stores, I felt like I was in the Independence Center...only 2-3 times the size. I was still getting over the fact that I was in Japan but at the same time, frustrated because I couldn't understand anything.

We talked about one of their friends who is having a problem with work by not being able to hold a job because of the pressure. My friend said he pressure of working in Japan has created the feeling of not making a mistake. The p could also trace back to school and other activities of doing their best and when they feel that they have failed, they keep those feelings pent up inside. My friend said that she thinks this problem of keeping feelings locked up is slowly changing.

After awhile, we became a bit bored so we walked over to the karaoke establishment. It was my first time trying out karaoke. It was a BLAST!!! I can't sing to save my life, but no one cares because it's fun! I'm a little shy at singing in front of people because I can't sing.

Point: Unless it's something you might put well being in danger because of nervousness, do everything you can (within financial reason) and have fun! You will blink and it will go by fast
