9/10/21

Didn’t get much done today. I woke up early but napped through most of the afternoon. After my three classes, I tutored for another forty minutes, and by the time that was all done, I felt too braindead to do much planning. Not sure if I will travel or not this weekend. Next Thursday is Independence Day so I only have to plan for four days next week (side note: contrary to popular American belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day. May 5th celebrates a victory over the French forces of Napoleon III in 1862. September 16 commemorates the Cry of Dolores in 1810, when the priest Miguel Hidalgo rang a big bell and announced the taking up of arms against the Spanish colonial government). I’m not sure how people will celebrate given the pandemic, but hopefully it will be fun.
