Long week

Yesterday, I went to a meeting with a lawyer from ECRE-European Council on Refugee and Exiles. She offered quite some good angles into what I should be looking for regarding the chapter that I am drafting during my three months here in Brussels, such as researching more international court decisions. One particular case that I was reading about today has to do with a bilateral agreement between Australia and Malaysia about the exchange of refugees. I will have to put more about this specific case on here, because it is quite interesting-some pros, but also some negative things about this decision on the part of the Australian government. I feel a bit like a detective trying to piece everything together. I have to keep reminding myself that it's good I have access to so much information, and that this is a process, when a large part of me is wondering how the heck I am going to transform my notes into 20 pages that will eventually be published? Deep breaths...
