Interviewing Rachel

Do you know the beautiful, tall, dark-haired, Hungarian girl, who is mostly hiding in the back row? Since I had had a chat with her in the first lesson, I have been curious about her and was waiting for the chance to get to know her. I finally did - and wasn't disappointed. Her name is Rachel and besides being good at learning languages she is a very talented musician. After having learned how to play the piano, she then played the guitar for a couple of years before she discovered her passion: singing. In Hungary she even appeared on stage!

Hey there and welcome to my blog!

Let's start with a bit of information about myself: My name is Anja, I'm 19 years old and come from Austria, a small German-speaking country in the centre of Europe. I am currently studying languages (English and Spanish) at the Karl Franzens University in Graz. That is somehow weird because I have always wanted to become a scientist and therefore my actual plan was to study Molecular Biosciences or Chemistry after high school. However, last year I suddenly changed my mind, signed up for the language entrance exams and luckily passed them all. That is why I'm here - and I don't regret it. The course itself is quite demanding and requires, besides hours of studying, a lot of endurance. Having chosen this course, I do not have a lot of spare time.


Me at my last competition

Since I absolutely love doing sports, I still try to find time for my passion, dancing ballet, or for taking aerobic and fitness classes. I also like to run, of course, only if my injured knee allows it. I used to do rhythmic gymnastics in the past, but due to some injuries I had to quit. However, I still go to the gym frequently because I work there as a trainer for the young gymnasts. I really enjoy working with the kids. They are so adorable, active and always highly motivated to learn something new. 

Whenever my neighbor doesn't have time to ride her horse, I am the only one who is allowed to ride it. It's a crazy, young, tall mare named "Maggie". She is so tall that it's impossible for me to get on the horse from the ground and I always have to use a mounting block. 

In some very rare cases I still have an hour or two left, that I don't use for studying, doing sports, or just having a social life. These extremely rare moments I spend on watching series. My favourite one is "Breaking Bad", because it is the only series where the main character isn't a doctor, a housewife or a bitchy girl, but a chemist going nuts.

One last thing I want to mention: Please do not expect me to have a special topic for my blog. My blog will contain posts about all sorts of topics, simply because I'm curious about so many different things. 

I hope that doesn't discourage you to visit my blog once in a while ;)

All the best and see you soon,

Anja
