NATIONAL HOLIDAYS

September 18th, that is the date of the first government meeting, and I actually never understood why we celebrate that, always thought we should conmemorate the independence day, but whatever.

It is nice to have a rest in the middle of the semester, and spend it in whathever you want, to recharge batteries.

By this week I will go to the beach with my family, we will spent the days resting, eating and going to the fondas.

I have never considered myself a nationalistic person, but it is true that when I hear cueca, when I see typical dancing or games and when I see people happy celebrating their common culture, it is a nice feeling, I cannot help but feeling identified.

But not everything is happiness and joy, sadly these holidays are the the days with the major quantity of traffic accidents in the year. People does not get use to be responsible when they drink alcohol, and unfortunately that takes away many lifes.

So to you all who are reading this, please take care of yourselves, if you are gonna drink, do not drive, and if you know about someone who is going to drive drunk, tell them to be responsible.
