If you were a box of cereal what would you be and why: I would not have a specific flavour as this would be dependent on the mood of the day. If I were angry I would be tough & crispy. If I were happy I would taste like the most wonderful thing. If I were lazy I would be slushy and stick to the bottom of the bowl. And if I were to explore the world I would escape from the box during the night leaving nothing but a goodbye letter behind.
What did you want to be when you grew up: First I wanted to be an astronaut, but I wasn’t brave enough; then a violinist, but I wasn’t motivated enough; hen a teacher, which I managed to be for two years, in Greece.
Where are you right now: It is Friday night and I am at home in the living room, surrounded by books and notes, which I am about to leave for a movie.
Tell us something about another staff writer: Iryna is a wonderful dancer!
