American Life in Memphis

I arrived in Memphis on August 23. It was my first time to come to USA. We had a lot of fear and expectation about American life.When I arrived on airplane of Memphis, my friend, who came to my university in Japan as exchange student, came to pick me up and I became composed. Then my American life started.

Next day, I was taken to
some places by car because I have time until my school start and we went to downtown. It was great and was designed by many colors. I became to like Memphis immediately. My friend took me to many places to buy a lot of things that was important for stay in America. After small trip, I went back and prepared for school

I had test that we were separated by out own level in our first day in the school and I had class of 3 level. I was quite nervous when I went to the class in the first time, but all of guys in the class are good. My friends increased gradually and we hung out almost every day. A thing that I was surprised with was when I went bowling. That place was quite different from Japanese one and like bar. There was good atmosphere and I liked there.

Last week, I had tryouts to belong to soccer team in university of Memphis. I passed it and could belong. Last weekend, I had soccer match and we couldn't win. I participated, but I couldn't get a ball from mates because maybe I was new face and can't communicate well. After that, I laid down and couldn't move for a few time. I was mortifyed,but I enjoyed playing soccer. I am not tough and I have to practice to play soccer and sometimes go running.
