"I never give in to the temptation to be difficult just for the sake of being difficult. That would be too ridiculous." /Jaques Derrida/
I cannot be summarized easily. Even by myself. Or maybe especially by myself?

I think I finally do have a general plan.
I am doing a PhD in [Sociology], also continuing my second MA.
In the meantime I travel, travel and travel!

Sarcasm, singing, budget traveling, dancing, discussing stuff, social theory, reading, fashion, hiking.

my eyes i guess. how would i know that?

The consonants and vowels.

This field made me realize that I could be a pretty happy deserted island inhabitant.

the future. the past. the pending.
i have a destructive tendency to avoid "now".

There's no typicality in life for me. I like it that way.

Let's indulge and list 25 since I am not a private person at all!
1. When I was 5 my kindergarten organized a special day where boys got to DIY and girls had to do the home made preserves. Two of my fingertips got cut off by a giant cabbage slicer. I think that is when I have become a feminist.
2. I am jealous of people who were raised bilingual. Especially those speaking English as their mother tongue. I feel I can’t compete.
3. I truly hated my high school and everything related to it.
4. I was a girl scout up till my late teens. Singing to a guitar until 4 am, spontaneous escapades into the wild and making out with boys is how I remember it.
5. Hippy/vintage/chemisier/baggy/tunic/floral print dresses: I will never have enough of those.
6. Traveling is definitely my thing. I also adapt quite quickly to living in different countries.
7. I admit watching way too many TV series – I find artificial drama really entertaining and relaxing.
8. My room back home has red walls and wooden furniture of various styles, colors and decades. And I love it!
9. I usually sleep 6 hours per day and it seems to be enough.
10. The site with the most entries in my browser is Wikipedia…
11. Hostility towards any sort of difference in my home country makes me sick to the point when I just wanna run away and never come back.
12. I could read by the age of 3. I was taught to read (and also write, count, etc.) by my grandma who was getting her A levels at that time (she couldn’t have passed them at the regular age as the World War II broke out on her first day of high school).
13. I am annoyed with people who keep calling me “Paulina” instead of “Paula”. I am simply not used to the first one and I need extra time to realize that someone is actually speaking to me.
14. Still having no idea what my dream job is I am scared shit less that I’ve already missed the chance to pursue it.
15. I hate being an only child.
16. Only once have I got angry with someone to the point that I cut this person out of my life completely. Usually I am all about ‘forgive and forget’.
17. I am a complete idiot when it comes to Physics- molecules, black holes or electricity want nothing to do with me. Ironically, apparently even social sciences are based on Physics.
18. I either write emails that consist of less then 10 words or those that go on for 3 pages.
19. I have a really bad tendency to think less about people who aren’t/weren’t Sociology/Social Sciences students. It’s like studying social facts, Foucault or systems’ autopoiesis gives some sort of exclusiveness to understand the world better. (Of course this 'understanding' does not mean that we are not screwed up...au contraire)
20. I used to play guitar and sung very well.
21. I had obligatory classes of Latin for 2 years and a year of Old Church Slavonic during my studies.
22. My eyes are green and my natural hair color is reddish blond.
23. I love board games! I wish we played them more in Poland.
24. I seem focused and organized but I daydream a whole lot.
25. I rarely throw stuff out – I have the advantage of using my mom’s huge attic as a storage space. I have no idea what is up there anymore.
