Talents: I can think only of two major talents. First of all, I am good in adapting and because of that I am good in surviving. So because of these two talents I am social, too much sometimes, and as a social scientist that I am trying to become, I make sense and live only through my connections with other people, that’s actually my survival mechanism. As it concerns talents as a student I can pretty much do whatever I am assigned to do and always on time.

Habits: I work too hard. I forget that I have to live as well. I don’t watch TV. I need someone to guide me in research and structure my actions. I like to study by myself and be alone in my house. I don’t leave my room when I study and I usually eat lunch and dinner there. I like to dress in style and that is so natural to me. I generally believe that being stylish is an accomplishment that only certain people can achieve. I love smoking; so much actually that I am so sad when I have to quit because of health reasons. I also maintain the belief that smoking is not bad for the health. I am staring at my laptop for almost an hour before I start writing something and I am usually checking what I am posting more than ten times before I post it. I always have the suspicion that I will have plenty of grammatical mistakes. I am always right I think (probably this is a neurosis).

Neuroses: I do things in a certain order and if I don’t, I cannot move on to do something else. I let only certain people to cut my hair. I worry all the time about work and failing. I think that I am the worse student and I will never achieve. I am pretty sure that the first word that comes to my mouth when I talk with co-workers and friends is: “I am failing; this is my last semester in RPI.” Actually I think that most of the times people perceive me as unreliable, not important, not serious, without value, but rather funny person. One of my biggest fears is that I am going to miss a class and even worst I worry that I will get sick and miss a class.
