menen Suomeen kolmas huhtikuuta

I'm leaving Seattle in the evening of April 3rd and should arrive in Helsinki just before midnight on the 4th.

kiitos paljon

This will be my blog while I'm in Finland on the Valle Scandinavian Exchange. I'm a grad student at the University of
Washington; in Finland I'll be affiliated with the Teknillinen Korkeakoulu, also known as the Helsinki University of Technology.

Thanks to the faculty at UW and TKK who helped me get my Valle fellowship: Peter Cohan (UW), Juhani Karanka (TKK), Trina Deines (UW), Judith Swain (UW), and Auli Puhakka (TKK). Thanks also to Paula Patterson (UW) for her advice, and to Folke Nyberg (UW) for his inspiration and encouragement.
