The Six Million Dollar Man was found worthy


"Chlorophyll (also chlorophyl) is a green pigment found in almost all plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Its name is derived from the Greek words chloros ("green") and phyllon ("leaf"). Chlorophyll is an extremely important biomolecule, critical in photosynthesis, which allows plants to obtain energy from light. Chlorophyll absorbs light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, followed by the red portion. However, it is a poor absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum; hence the green color of chlorophyll-containing tissues."

Chlorophyll... I sure hope that stuff proves to be fascinating... 'cause I'm going to spend my whole summer studying it at the Department of Micro- and Nanosciences here at Aalto University! I just signed a working contract for this summer. And on top of that, I agreed to write my Bachelor's Thesis on the subject. Why am I in such a hurry?

Hey, who cares! I can't wait, I'm too excited! Organic chemistry, here I come!

Although, it is slightly frightening that some of the equipment that I'll be using will be as valuable as myself.

Thank you Aalto!

This post is just a simple piece of information:

  • I'm absolutely delighted and very fortunate to be a student at Aalto University, not at University of Helsinki.

Thanks, that's all.

Now it's up to fate to decide

Today was the first day of the application period for the ERASMUS programme for the academic year 2011-2012.

And this was the day that I visited the Student Services at the School of Electrical Engineering to hand out my application forms.

Me, nervous? How come?

At least I haven't screwed up anything, yet.
