This week`s interview is from Ben, also a friend from when I was a student here last year. He`s leaving in a few weeks, unfortunately, because he`s one of the funniest guys I have ever met. I`m thinking of making every Monday an interview post. If you`re arriving soon or are already at school, prepared to be interviewed!! (or offer it to me because that makes my life easier ;D)
