I’m Jeanne Laugesen, a foreign exchange student from Denmark. Some people compare my name with blue jeans, because you don’t say the last two letters of my name. You actually just say Jean, so you can call me blue jeans, Jeanne or whatever you feel like calling me.I’m going to be here for a year to learn about the American culture and how to live like an American. I’m not talking about learning how to eat burgers, but learning about actual American culture. So where would I go other than Texas?I really enjoy writing, reading and drawing and it’s a big part of my life. I’m a perfectionist and that can sometimes be a problem, because I’m way too hard on myself, but hey, I do my very best and even more than that. You have probably seen people in the hallway falling over their own legs, I’m one of those people, but it’s okay to be clumsy, at least that’s what I convince myself about.I look forward to being on newspaper staff this year! I look forward to an incredible year with lots of good experiences. I have always dreamed about coming to the USA and writing is my passion, so I get to do what I love and live my dream at the same time.
