It has started to get much cooler outside. I guess I have to officially accept that it is mid-September and the summer is basically over. Sigh, it was nice while it lasted. I cannot believe that we are three weeks into the semester. It feels like yesterday that everything just started. Though three weeks doesn’t sound that long in the scheme of things, it means we are almost half way through September.

Last night kicked off the guest speakers series with Kofi Annan. He spoke about human rights and global equality among the citizens of the world.  The focus of his speech was on international relations- something which I am extremely interested in.  He was a great public speaker and really kept me engaged in what he was saying.  I really love that UB has such interesting and important speakers. It also makes me feel like UB has more focus on the global world rather then focusing only on the small University community.

Like I said earlier, I am going home this weekend for the Rosh Hashanna. I am really excited to see my family and have some great home cooked food.
