Malwina.

Malwina is from Poland, she’s 20 years-old and has come to Forth Valley College to explore her interests and improve her English.

She has experience in cosmetics, which is plainly shown by her manicured hands and well-cut hair. So, judging solely on her outward appearance, she appears to be a fashionista, in actuality though, she’s something completely different.

One of her favourite pastimes is playing online video games, and she confesses to spending hours upon hours of playing them. She also reads Manga, and watches Anime, not the usual fare of girls her age.

She enjoys the music of bands such as Linkin’ Park, and Green Day, and her favourite movies are The Butterfly Effect and Requiem for a Dream, which could indicate that she leans towards the darker side of the arts, although, she does enjoy a bit of House MD, indicating a wry sense of humour. But then, she also enjoys some other, more traditional hobbies, such as photography and dance.

She wouldn’t tell me much about her past or her personal life, saying, simply “You don’t want to know”, and I thought it would be rude to probe any further.

All in all, she is a very intriguing girl; good looking, shy, quiet. And yet, she comes across as being very self confident.
