Moikka!
And the same in english... Hi! How are you? I´m Maija and I come from the land of thousand lakes and trees. The Santa Claus comes from the very same country and we have about 2 million saunas for a population of 5 millions. And yes, we won the Eurovision song contest 2006! Go Lordi!! :D Guessed yet? Yes, it´s Finland.
I study biotechnology in Finland in the University of Tampere in the Institute of Medical Technology. After three years of (more or less) hard student life I decided to spend an exchange year in Scotland studying genetics in the University of Glasgow. It´s been an amazing experience and I´m really enjoying my life here. People are very friendly and one has to love the Scottish accent!
I´m very excited about this competition and can´t wait to get some results from our project! Looking forwards to having our daily meeting in a local pub on thursday, should be good fun!
I spend my freetime pretending to going to the gym occasionally and relaxing with my friends. Love listening to some good music, preferably jumping in The Sounds or The Ark gig. I´m addicted to Facebook and my Canon Ixus.
Share a joke here or why not send me a nice email maija.paakkunainen@uta.fi :)
