..Less than two months left before I leave the states, and honestly I'm not as excited to go home as I was a month ago. Don't get me wrong - of course I want to see my family and friends, but I feel like I'm not done with the U.S. yet. I'm done with Angola, Indiana - but there's so much else to see out there.. yes, I'm perfectly aware of the easy solving here, and yes, of course I will go back as much as I can. Despite wanting to come back so badly I seriously miss Denmark.. Alot. I've always been the girl who could go wherever, for days, and not miss my family. I told myself: It's only 11 months, not even a year.. I won't miss them that much.. Heck, I could probably do 2 years if that's what my scholarship allowed. Bullshit. Being away from your family and friends.. Your home.. for a year, even though you've started to get tired of your life there, you WILL miss it. There will always be that place in your heart. The place where you grew up when you were a child. The people you grew up with. The environment you were around as a child. Some memories are just not forgettable. Someone out there is trying to forget about that one memory, when they were a child, but are you? Make the best of it, so it's worth missing. Jenny Nguyen, xoxo..

(On a side-note.. It is mother's day tomorrow, so remember to do something for your mother. Material stuff is not the only thing you can do for her (..though somehow I always end up doing that.. lol) - just spending time with her is probably all she wants, and I know that for a fact. Love to all the mothers out there. A shout out to my my hostmom A.D. for being the best hostmom of all.)

Prom-shoes, Check! I'm ready!

Got my babies while I was in North Carolina. No stress about finding prom shoes anymore, yay! $91,00 (fml.. they're $64 on a website..) from Aldo :)
XOXO.

Home sweet home.

I just came home from a week in DC and Maryland. Or.. 5 hours ago, anyways, I have good news. I've found a prom dress, so I have one less thing to worry about. Though it wasn't my dream dress I am still much satisfied. Lovable, actually. Also bought 2 pair of shorts from Hollister (slowly getting ready for spring and summer, hehe). Pictures from my vacation will be on facebook soon ;)

Prom-shoe-hunt-mode is activated. If I had the money I'd buy a pair of Christian Loubutin pumps, as seen on Lauren Conrad, but this is reality - haha.
XOXO (PS. so not gonna buy shoes like the ones on the model..)

prom...

...sad story. my dress won't be able to arrive before after my prom so I gave up on it. Dang it! I'll look for another one while in maryland and d.c , wish me luck!

XOXO

New stuff.

Have I told you that Levi's Jeans are crazycheap over here? Well I got these leggings for 32 dollars. They look a lil darker than the picture though.. Also purchased a black top yesterday. The brown top was bought 3 weeks ago.

Prom!

April 16th. Yes, baby. That's when prom is going to be.
I am so excited I can't even express it. Mostly.. Excited to wear my dress and show it off! Teehee. My promdate and I decided to go for casual instead of the very colorful dresses that they usually wear at prom here. It's just not my style at all.. I like to keep it down low ;)
So here's the dress. I want it in navy, but I couldn't find a picture of it from the back in that color - so.. yeah :) I've been searching for a dress for a while and been to almost 10 different stores to try on dresses, but I think this is the one.

An update for my plans from now till dk:
Washington D.C and Maryland - March.
Chicago (visiting cousin and aunt) and Massachusetts (visiting colleges) - April
Prom and Lexy's academic bowl - April
Lexy's academic bowl in Indianapolis if she goes to state - May
Graduation - June.

Music.

..the result from not having high speed internet and stuff was that I couldn't download music and listen to music as often as I did. I had a friend put on a lot of music on my memory card so I could have something new to listen to, and boy I feel in love with so many songs! They deserve to be out there (though they already are, but they can always use more fans)

Kid Cudi.
Chris Webby
Lil Wayne
Wiz Khalifa
J. Cole

But much credit to Kid Cudi! I FRICKIN LOVE HIM!
