Taylor Swift

What girl doesn’t feel like dancing like she is 22? Taylor Swift ’s last album Red has to be her best. And Taylor’s signature big bold red lips are so hot! As you can probably tell, my readers, I am T-swift crazy! I work those red lips when the occasion is right and I know every single one of her songs and then some. She is my favorite country artists(really any artists actually). Now some of you are going to argue "she isn’t a true country artists". I see your point. She is not. But that makes her unique, she can hop back and forth between different genres. How can that be a bad thing? I would think that would mean she is better at what she does. I could be wrong... but probably not. Anyway for those of you that are Swifty fans like me, do not be embarrassed to rock out to her music, anywhere and everywhere ( especially on a date! Boys tend to not like Taylor). And rock those red lips!!!

Later Y’all! XOXO

Summer Fair in Semily

The Summer Officially Begins

This weekend I visited my grandma and part of my family in Semily. That’s a city near mountains on the north of the Czech Republic. We went there because of a fair that was taking a place that weekend. It was also right after the school end – everyone ends the last day of June. So I expected it will be huge.

It was always a big thing. I met all my friends there and I spent some time with my cousin Vítek. He’s a bit older than I am and thanks him I know all his cute friends – not bad haha. Usually we spent hours walking around the fair and taking some scary amusement rides. Okay not exactly. I was watching them from the ground cuz I’m just so scared. But they had always a lot of fun. We bought candy cotton – it’s a traditional “food” on fairs. And we were just enjoying ourselves. We were also drinking a bit but no one was too drunk to be sick. It was always fun evening.

This year it wasn’t quite like that. It could be me or them idk. They were also drinking but I didn’t want to. Their (not all of them) talks were lame. One girl was telling me how she was stealing in some store – wtf? Is she really that stupid? - she stole things that are really cheap and she could easily pay for them (cream, nail polish…). She was just stupid. I wonder why some of my friends like here.

But it wasn’t bad all the time. I saw my friends after so long time. It was really nice. I gave all of them some keychain or some souvenir and they were so happy. I also spent a lot time with my grandma. She is so sweet. She is little and she always tries to make me happy, she cooks whatever I want, she runs around the house and garden and never stops. She is just so lovely. I know she was really happy I visited her.

And one of the better parts was the food I ate. I ate a lot! I had kebab, pizza, svíčková (that’s a vegetable/cream sauce with dumplings and meat), and I also made burgers. I was just eating the whole weekend haha.

Later Y’all! XOXO

An Exchange student experience

My kind of fairy tale

  

Have you ever imagined you would go to a different country for one year? I never did and here I am, an exchange student in the United States. My friends told me I’m crazy but they also admired me.

Before I left I did not quite realize that I was really going. My mind could not process what was going to happen. So I didn’t cry or anything like that. I was just excited to get to experience America. I have never been there before, I have never been on a plane before.

When I got to America, I was so surprised with the difference and similarity of this place. Some things were the same as at home and some were totally different and it was hard to get use to that. It took me about two months to get use to an American life.

I have always thought the biggest problem about going to the USA will be that I won’t understand Americans. How wrong I was. That was just part of the problem. I didn’t know their vocabulary, I didn’t know exactly what they were saying and the surprising thing is that they didn’t understand me either! I had really strong accent so they didn’t know what I am saying. I have never thought about it.

Other surprise for me was that I didn’t miss my family and friends that much. Not that I’d not love them but I just didn’t have time to miss them. I was busy all the time. And also with internet and Skype and Facebook it’s really easy to talk and see each other. I got use to the fact I don’t see them every day.

During the whole year I became more independent. Not in everything, I still needed my parents to send me money lol. I also asked them for an advice if I needed one but at the end I made that decision and there was nothing they could do with it because they were far away.

          Right now I can count hours till my departure. It’s in less than a week. I’m realizing I don’t actually want to leave. It’s my home here right now. I have great friends here and my host parents are also great. I will miss my life here so much! It was like a fairy tale. But every fairy tale has its end and this is mine. But then with every end there is a new beginning.

Later Y’all! XOXO

Our Cinderella Night

But I think our Prince forgot to show up

 

Oh prom, the wonderful day of killing the ozone with our large amounts of hairspray. Scientists blame cars, airplanes or nuclear weapons but really they should probably blame the combination of teenage girls and prom for all their problems.

To let all you ungrateful men who do not seem to appreciate the amount of time we spend in the bathroom, it is NECESSARY. I mean would you want us to show up to prom in our pajamas with birds' nests on our heads? I don’t think so! And believe it or not we think hanging out in the bathroom is the bees knees! Who wouldn’t love to spout a couple cuss words when they cannot get their hair just right huh? Sorry for going into a rant but some things just need to be said.

Back to the original topic, prom! Picture this! Us two amigos, heading to a friend of a friend’s house (awkward), to partake in the traditional picture taking. Let me tell you readers this is the excruciating part of the evening. Imagine a dozen parents swooping around like hawks taking pictures, telling you to pose like this or hold it right there. I mean one parent wanted us to stand in the grass. La chica es loca.

After we fought off the mob, we loaded into the luxurious limo and made our way to the beautiful land of P.F. Chang’s where we proceeded to stuff our mouth holes. One girl at our table wasn’t particularly lucky in picking her prom dress. Her boobs were saying "hi" to everyone. I mean the girl had them on display! And believe me her boobs were NOT booberrific (this girl is incredibly sweet though, so we do not judge her by her boob spillage).

Moving on to the dance itself, we were searched for any possible alcohol or drugs. This searching of girls purses and patting down of guys is necessary but come on spending five minutes to inspect my tube of lipstick? Kinda excessive right? For the record we do not partake in the drug or alcohol scenes.

Then came the fun part! Dancing till you drop ... literally. Taking pictures, talking, eating and just enjoying the night. And when the clock struck midnight, we all scrambled to the limo. We headed home, because us Cinderella’s had to get back to scrubbing floors in the morning.

 

Later Y’all! XOXO
