Hello:

I’m Pedro. I’m here in Finland like a exchange student and in my country, Spain, I’m studying Mining Engineering. Here in Finland I have to achieve 60 credits and I’m doing quite different courses (economics, mining, material science...).

I have choose the APD project because another Spanish guy did it in the Autumn and he recommend me it.

I started the course with a lot of hope and curiosity because I didn’t have a lot of information and it was an absolutely new kind of course to me(in Spain we just depend of the exam in most cases). After the first lecture I was a little scared because the topic of the project seemed to me very strange. However, after the group meeting when I analyze the project with the other guys I was happy again. The second week my feelings have continued being fine and the team seems very nice. This week we are going to go to “rahapaja” (I’m learning a little of Finnish) and we are going to define the Project more. I will keep you informed during the next week...
