32. Agnė Zubytė (XVI karta) Agne graduated Vilnius Lyceum in 2008 with an IB diploma. She now lives in the outskirts of London and is a second year student in Media Arts (film theory and practice) in Royal Holloway University. The decision to study film was quite a spontaneous one, but she has not regretted it one bit! It is basically a course where they analyze films (like you did in school with novels, how cool is that? ;P) and also shoot their own films with some kick ass equipment! Last year Agne worked unofficially as a cleaner in a nearby office on a daily basis to earn some cash, however this year she got a job in the technical department of the Students’ Union and is responsible for the lights during all kinds of parties, shows and events. She is the students’ representative of the 2nd year Media Arts course and also a member of the photography society. Agne first moved to England without having any accommodation, no job, no experience and now realizes how much easier it would be to move and adapt to a new (scary?) country with a little bit of help. She has settled quite well and does not have to live off of noodles like some think when they imagine student-life. She is happy to give advice to anyone who needs it and hopefully make their lives a little bit easier. ;)
