I went to a concert last night

It was fun. The music was good, and I was glad to meet people who like the same music as me. My friend Masaya, who invited me to the show, will be going to UC Irvine this coming year. I'm hoping that some of my friends will be willing to hang out with him and take him to lots of shows. He has pretty diverse music tastes, and I think that he and Jeff should go to hard-core shows together. There was a girl at the show named Ayako that lives pretty close to where I am staying now, so maybe we will be able to hang out and practice speaking. She went to high school and stayed with a host-family in Ireland for three years, so she speaks really good english with and Irish accent. Its pretty awesome. All the people that I met last night were pretty cool, I liked them much more than the people from the futsal circle. I'll probably try to hang out with them when I can, even if I don't join the circle.

The show was at a cool place called Pink Noise out in the suburbs (I think). The town reminded me a bit of downtown Walnut Creek. I think maybe I've seen pictures of the venue before, but I haven't yet confirmed that.

Other than that, I had my first chapter test today. I think that I may have done somewhat poorly, but that I know what to expect and will improve on next one. Also, I think I'm losing weight, and may soon disappear completely. I can't wait for homestay meals, there is just something about buying all of my own food that makes me eat less.
