I cannot into space.

                                                                      Story of my life.

                               

No, actually let me introduce myself properly. I am Alexandra and I like many many things, from video editing (machinima) to sketching and even dancing, and acting. I just dislike maths in my life because it's evil. I come from a small town/village in Poland called Byczyna. Which translates into something like a Bull's miracle or whatever, let's not translate anymore. ever. Since my early childhood I always liked video games, first, watching other people play, then getting purple gameboy colors for myself and playing weird dinosaur fighting game for hours. I kept switching between console and PC, but PCs are way cooler. I guess consoles are only good for parties. And maybe if you have friends. I did not. 

While I started my education in Poland, I had no real purpose, dream in my life, but that could be explained by the fact I was about 12, and my only problem was dodging my teacher's attacks with his keys. He was one lovely

but cruel man. I always wondered why he wore same jumper for 5 years. Anyway, at that time my family was all

over the world. My mum would go work to Germany, back, Poland, Germany again, same with dad. I guess

we have led a miserable life from another person's point of view, but I liked it back then. I miss those times. 

When I was 13 my mum decided to move to UK, so I stayed at my Grandma's house where I did my weird dancing at 1:00 AM in my bedroom, played some games, that my PC could barely handle and praised Mattafix for their cool music. 

 I think this was playing at the time:

So there, my mum dragged me all the way to UK with her, year later where I started my education, somehow

without knowing a word in English. I rolled like that for few years, then it hit me, the fact that I had no friggin' idea

of what to do with my future. I wanted to drop school, since I wasn't learning much, or enjoying it. I talked about

it to one of my headteachers, I must say the one thing I liked about that school were the teachers, they were simply friendly. Back to the story, I told her about my concerns, we even talked about hobbies. I did AS Fine Art at that moment, so I mentioned I liked Art, Video Games and other things. She said that her husband worked at De Montfort University, and that there is a course in Games Art. My eyes started to shine, as I was finally getting idea of what I could do. I procrastinated throughout end of A Levels, achieving terrible grades, and not getting in. Maybe because I was still lacking motivation, true passion, maybe I was just too depressed. I decided to go for Foundation Year in Coventry for a change, where I lived for a bit, went through series of horrors, and somehow passed, and got onto my dreamy Games Art course. 

I am still unsure about my future and what I would like to do, I think I would love to travel. I just really don't

want to end up in the job I will dislike or even hate. In the end we only have one life, only one chance to do something amazing. Whenever I will become a games designer, or open my little studio, become a traveller, or anything that I know I could enjoy I will be happy. I just need to chase my dreams.
