Hi there.

I'm an eighteen year old teenager who is convinced that her soul is yet older, and my hobbies consist mainly of writing, drawing/painting, reading, playing/watching tennis, and making plans that are too sensational for me to achieve in this world. In short, my life plan is 'Someday'. My real name is Suzanna (Suzie or Sue), and I am a proud Pole with an intriguing family history. For instance, I am related to Tadeusz Kosciuszko - Polish and American military icon - and to artist Tadeusz Kulisiewicz (aka Kuli). I am a freshman at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, and might eventually transfer to Edinburgh (Scotland) or Orleans (France).

A little nonsense about myself: I'm trilingual (Polish, French, English), I'm quiet but not shy, I'm brooding but not insane, and I have a love affair with art ;)

If anyone is interested, I have an ISFP personality - artistic, introverted, perceptive, sympathetic, fiercely independent, and immensely self-critical. Among other things.
