Hi.
Yeah, hi. I, um... like my job? It's nice with all those chlorophylls and that sort of thingies. And pipettes and cooler-than-coke-measurements. I first thought that I'd share something about our achievements, but...
I mean, we encountered something pretty cool today. It's just a real bummer that I can't go revealing our results online. Damn. 'Cause I just KNOW there's a whole lot of you guys reading this little blog of mine, and we wouldn't want to see you guys resorting to petty plagiarism, right?
Ah, that's right! I have to mention this. I got my first '...when you'll take over this project after me...' comment from my instructor!
But, to keep this post short: our project rocks.

"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.
