August 25

Received an email from someone I interviewed with at the beginning of the year. Apparently the new concert venue in Long Beach had some fights in court and now won't be opening up after all. Too bad because the guy was hand-picking me for job as General Manager. Sigh. I guess it wasn't meant to be because now I'm here, in Australia. Maybe one day our paths will cross again and something will come of it. He seemed like a pretty cool guy. I didn't get much sleep on Tuesday night, so I slept in late on Wednesday and then trotted off to class. Came home and Lina wanted to celebrate finishing her big paper, so we headed out to drinks downtown at Fridays. Because it was a Wednesday, it was dead. But we had happy hour drinks and a delicious steak!

Then we decided to go to Casablanca because it was Salsa night. But it was a class with like a dozen 35-40 year olds... We watched anyway, then watched a Merengue class, then it was "social dance". A bunch of people tried to dance with me, and I finally got off the wall enough to try a few moves, but it's so hard because I am still so new to it. I was very nervous and kept making squeals when being turned. Like "I know I'm gonna mess up!!" Anyway, I still had a lot of fun, so maybe I'll go WAY outside my element and start salsa lessons... We took the last bus home and passed out.
