Wearing 5 k's and not amritdhari: is it ok???

Waheguru Ji Ki Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!
So i converted to sikhi 7 months ago, and as a new convert i often want to cath up or at least try to leave to best of my abilty the sikhi way of life. About a month ago, i finally got a few of the 5 k's (Kanga, Kara and Kirpan) from a fellow singh that lived in cali. anyways, soon after i started wearing them, i had to surrender them cause my mom who was already very opposed to me becomign a sikh did not allow them to be in the house. This is off the main point, however, jsut a little Background.
I started wearing the 5 k's even though i didnt have the other one and no dastarr. I have only been sikhi for only several months now, and i have a question:
"Is is proper and right for me to wear soem of the 5 k's even if i have not taken amrit?"
i feel that i am not quite ready to be initiated into the khalsa brotherhood, even though i have given up eating meat, watching TV, and stopped numerous other bad habits. I think i need more time to learn punjabi and pray more to Guru Ji. You could say that is another question.
Since i am fairly new, i do not understand everything, so bear with me and correct me if i make a mistake.
