Well, it's back-to-school for me this semester. It will probably be my last semester here at BYU-I because I recently applied to BYU as a transfer student. Two weeks from today, I will find out whether I got in or not. It feels great to be back at school, although I'm anxious to getting my associate's degree taken care of already. Leaves are turning from fresh green to dry yellow and scarlet colors and falling. Fall is coming and so is the cold.
Usually at the start of a new semester, I have new roommates. They are nice and I think they'll be the best roommates I've had. I don't have to be at a new apartment this time. I'm staying at La Jolla, one of the best places to stay for the semester.
The day after school started, it was September 16, a day of independence in Mexico. Cinco de Mayo may sound like Independence Day, but it happened after September 16. To celebrate Día de la Independencia, I cooked some homemade enchiladas and warmed up some refried beans. It was very good and I felt like I was home.
Even though I'm not biologically Mexican, I'm grateful for the people who fought for Mexican Independence so that we can live in peace and harmony, as well as for the Americans who fought for our freedom and independence.
¡Feliz Día de la Independencia! ¡Viva México!
