Happy Cinco de Mayo!!
Well I went and took my first final. It was sort of hard, I think I was unsure on 5 questions. But I did good enough to pass the class so that is good. Anywho, so I have another one tomorrow. Yuck. I hate finals..have I mentioned that yet. Ugh, especially cumulative finals.
Anyway, wish me luck tomorrow :) I think I will go pack a little. ta ta!
Do you know how this great holiday came into picture? I'll share:
ReplyDeleteAn Historical Event.....
Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was
manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico.
But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship
hit an iceberg and sank....and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise -- and were eagerly awaiting its
delivery -- were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th
and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo
