On my Graduation Day, June 2nd 2007.

My name is Netta Hirvensalo, and I'm a 20-year-old translator-in-the-making. I major in the Translation and Interpretation of English at the University of Helsinki, Department of Translation Studies. The department is located in Kouvola, where I resided my first academic year, but at the moment I am doing most of my studies in Helsinki and expanding my repertoire to Comparative Literature as well, living in a tiny but charming apartment nearby the centre of Helsinki. Ronja and Ria are both staying with my parents, but make sure I remember to drop by regularly.
