Interview: Who are you?

Recommended Posts

Hmmm

I trust the IB survival website and have faith in its users, but I do not think it is clever to reveal any personal infornation online. Most of you are probably anazing people and IB students, but you can never really trust online platforms cometely with personal data.

I would advise not to reveal too much personal data on any online platform. Of course this is your own decision and is at your own risk, but just be careful with personal data, but apart from that I encourage you to be as friendly and personal as you want with other IB Survivors! :)

1. What is your real name?

My real name is Gerda Grase. 

2. Where are you from?

Latvia, Riga in particular.

3. How did you find out about IB Survival?

I just had some friends a few years older at my school who were doing the IB and they sometimes talked about this website.

4. What made you register on IB Survival?

Hmm... Partly desire to get to know new people, partly procrastination. :D

Always mathematics. But geography is cool too... Our teacher is fun :)

7. When are you graduating?

May 2016. Which is actually so soon I'm scared :D

8. What are your plans for university?

For now, I'm considering studying mathematics. Hopefully, actuarial sciences. If I feel like I need to change everything, I might take environmental sciences, but (for now) it is very unlikely. My uni picks for now are Cambridge, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Essex and MIT. I probably need one that does not require a lot of points. Will go through this again some time soon.

9. What are your free-time hobbies?

I love, love, LOVE choir. That is the one thing I will not quit doing. Now I am also very excited about participating in the WWF, but that might end as the second year of IB begins. Other than that, I enjoy watching movies and getting to know people from different countries.

10. If you could change one thing on IB Survival, what would it be? 

Oh god... Umm... I don't know really :D IB Survival works pretty well, I think. :) 

I can say what I would change about the IB though. Something is definitely wrong with English A: Language and Literature course. It should somehow be a bit more logical.

Though what you're saying is true, the only things members are revealing are their country and their first name so it's not a big deal.

1. What is your real name?

Mikko (Michael).

2. Where are you from?

Finland, northern Europe.

3. How did you find out about IB Survival?

Google is my friend. ;)

4. What made you register on IB Survival?

I feel nostalgic, I guess...

5. When did you (approximately) register here?

Approximately 10 minutes ago. :P

6. What is your favourite IB subject?

I loved History! You can't understand the present, not to mention the future, unless you know how we ended up at this point in time.

7. When are you graduating?

I graduated in May 2005 - over 10 years ago! It's funny to think about because it feels like it happened yesterday... Or maybe I still live in the past. ;)

8. What are your plans for university?

I got my MA in Translation & Interpreting (in Italy). Before that I did BA in Italian Philology at Helsinki University, Finland. After university (which is mostly a waste of time anyways) I have been studying Crafts & Arts (primitive handicraft skills) and become a wilderness guide. I think moving in the middle of nowhere was the best decision in my life - believe me, this silly thing they call "civilization" will not bring you happiness.

9. What are your free-time hobbies?

I still love reading and I also practise traditional archery. Every once in a while I engage in a chess match.

10. If you could change one thing on IB Survival, what would it be? 

I haven't got the faintest idea... Can't say, really.
