Despite the very busy schedule In preparation for Eurovision, Lena pays a lot of attention to her schoolwork. “It’s important for me to learn something every day because I’m preparing for exams. But it’s very difficult, because at the same time I have to rehearse a lot for the competition, so I’m very tired,” says the girl. Nevertheless, in such a busy schedule she finds its advantages: solitude in a room with textbooks helps to take a break from numerous rehearsals, and plunging into the world of music, Lena confidently states: “When I sing, I forget about everything.”
