What are you studying? Molecular Biology and Biotechnology.
What languages do you speak? Russian, Czech, German, Kazak, and English.

What do you want to do when you graduate? I'd like to do my Master's in Canada, Australia, or the U.S.

Have you ever had a fashion disaster? I once put a rainbow colored sock in my laundry and it changed the color of all the other clothes!
What are your hobbies? Reading, listening to music, and taking walks. I like to wake up early on Sundays when the city is still asleep. I walk around listening to music and enjoy the quiet atmosphere.
If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be? When I was in the eighth grade I read a book about the Island of Tristan da Cunha. It has a population under three hundred people and there are only seven surnames on the island. Everyone knows each other. I've always lived in big cities and I'd love to see a smaller community. It fascinates me.
What was you last moment of bliss? This morning when I passed my hardest exam in my the Anatomy of Farm Animals class. It's a boring class.

It's just easier when people come to me first. I know it's not how life works all the time.
