G\u2019day, how is it going?<\/p>\n
So this is the first time I\u2019m writing a blog post at this blog, and I figure that it might be a good start with introducing myself to you readers. My name is Rebecka, I\u2019m 20 years old and from a small village in the south of Sweden. Usually, I\u2019m studying Peace and Conflict Studies at Malm\u00f6 University, but right now I\u2019m doing one year as an exchange student at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia. The units I take here is within Murdoch University\u2019s program \u201dSecurity, terrorism and counterterrorism\u201d, I have just finished my first semester down under and the units I took this spring was about terrorism, counterterrorism, global security in general and also the US and Australia\u2019s foreign and security policies. The units I\u2019m going to take next semester is about democracy and international politics, relations and security, the difference from the last semester is that these units are more about the theories than practice and not specified to a specific country as the other units were (they all had a focus on Australia and the US).<\/p>\n
First the plan was that I would only be here for one semester but halfway through it I felt that I hadn\u2019t taken all the units I wanted to take here at Murdoch University and therefore e-mailed Malm\u00f6 and asked if there were any chances that I could stay for one more semester, and to my great joy \u2013 there was! So here I am, still in Australia \u2013 my new home, having winter break and waiting for another semester to begin. All the internationals who was only here for only one semester have left by now and it\u2019s quite quiet and I would lie if I say that I don\u2019t miss them. After all, we were like a family, and the goodbyes were harder than\u00a0 I thought it would be \u2013 maaaany tears! But I guess that\u2019s a part of studying abroad, and in like 2 weeks new internationals arrive and a new family will probably be created.<\/p>\n
By now, I don\u2019t have that much to write and tell you but if you want to, and can read Swedish (or just use google translate) have a look on my private blog in the meantime http:\/\/nouw.com\/rebeckahillbertz.<\/p>\n
