Ania & Martin Chamberlin
1. Is it weird going to school with your twin? Ania: âNo, I like it. It causes competition, though. Itâs easy to be competitive with twins.â Martin: âNo, itâs weirder to not have classes with her.â 2. As twins, do people treat you very differently, or do they treat you the same? A: âSometimes they treat us the same, because they expect us to act the same way. Having a twin does open you up to a wider range of friends; I feel more comfortable around people that Martin is friends with.â M: âIâve never not had a twin, so I donât know. I do think itâs funny when people think that she is my girlfriend.â 3. How long did you live in Poland/ was the transition into American culture difficult? A: âFour years, ten months. Not really, but little cultural things were weird. People in America say hello to each other when walking down the street; that doesnât happen in Poland.â M: âFive years. I honestly had no idea until I was 8 that we were living in America.â 4. Why are Polish people so much cooler than other people? A: âFor me, I can relate to them better, and the food in Polish pre-schools is amazing.â M: âFood, genetics, and because they speak Polish.â 5. What is your favorite food? A: âEarl grey tea scones from Arcadia. Not the ones that I attempted to make on Saturday.â M: âPolish food.â 6. Do you ever plan on exchanging your bicycles for cars? A: âNo, my goal is to not own a car until Iâm married and have kids.â M: âNo, my goal is to go as long as possible without a car. Same goes for a cell-phone.â 7. What is your guilty pleasure? A: âItâs not guilty, but itâs a pleasure: doing better than Martin on tests.â M: âBeing pretentious.â 8. Whatâs one interesting thing about you, that not many people know? A: âI pierced my own ear with a safety-pin. It was fun and exhilarating. Also, I can go more than ten minutes without blinking. In fact, I have staring contests with the clock.â M: âI created my own religion called MEtheism, where you worship yourself as god, and itâs monotheistic, so you canât acknowledge other peopleâs MEtheism.â
