Socializing again

I went to karaoke last night with language exchange friends. As I expected, the ones who speak English as their first language sang very well. One of them was really good and he was like a singer. All of them are taking Japanese language class or took it before. I am glad to meet people who are interested in Japanese culture. I was nervous as usual so I couldn't talk with them as much as I wanted to... even though I could use Japanese.. don't know why. But one thing I found interesting was a boy who is half Japanese and American sees himself as American. It seems to be because his outlooks is closer to White rather than Japanese. I'm interested in the identities of Asian Americans. I wonder how they feel about thier ethnic background. I've got many Asian American friends now, so I will see many things I want to know about.


Unfortunately I was stressed out all day today. I guess it is from socializing. Time passed very quickly without doing anything except a little bit of homework. I came back to the dorm a bit late last night and after that I was still really awake and I couldn't sleep till like 4 or 5am. When I woke up in the morning, my state was continued from last night and I was tired from lack of sleep. Now I feel better and realxed, but I hope I will come to not get stressed from socializing. Maybe I need experiences.


Anyway, I have been doing exercise recently, mainly stretching.
