Beginning of the Arctic

Yesterday we had our first class that is specifically on the Arctic.  And we got to meet the Swedish students!  Even though they're all masters or PhD students, the class doesn't seem too daunting....yet.  Not all of the new students are from Sweden either, one is from Spain and a couple are from the US. Two of the Swedes are also female engineers, so I'm looking forward to getting to know them.

Most of the work we have to do for this class is reading, but we also take turns writing an entry for a blog on the Illinois European Union Center's Website.  My partner's name is Aaron, and yesterday was our turn to do an entry.  You can check out our blog here http://eucenterillinois-abroad.blogspot.se/2012/06/politics-campfires-and-peace-prizes.html
