Hello World part II

Hi everyone!

It's been a long while again. First school year is now behind and it turned out great with awesome memories, bunch of new friends, plenty of good time and a significant other. With all that I somehow managed to get thru all this excitement with a great (3.89) GPA as well. So currently, as many of you know, I am currently spending my summer in Finland and then flying back to the States in mid August. It feels somewhat weird to be back here. It feels like everything is just as it was when I left in August last year but on the other hand it feels like I've been away way longer than "just" 9months. Those months have been one of the greatest so far in my life. Here are some (unseen) pics from the spring semester. Enjoy (:
