Living in a Hotel ~ Lauren Ambrosino

-
     Since this month is anything you want to write about, I decided I would write about my current living situation. As of right now, the inside of my whole entire house is being torn apart and renovated. We're getting all new everything on the inside, which means we can't live there. On Saturday and Sunday I spent a total of about 10 hours taking every single thing out of my bedroom and packing it into a storage unit. It's a really long process, but will definitely be worth it in the end.
     Since we can't live there we are staying a hotel for the next two weeks. It has its perks and its downsides. I'll start with the positive things. Every morning before school there's a free breakfast buffet with a lot of options. Yesterday I had a big waffle with hash browns. So, the breakfast before school is definitely a bonus. At night time they also have free dinner which I went to last night and it was OK. They also have fresh baked cookies which are actually really good. That's another thing, since we're not home we have to eat out a lot and the food is really good but I'm probably going to get sick of it soon. The hotel also has an indoor pool and a gym so I get to go swimming and workout whenever which is really nice. Some of the downsides on the other hand are the distance. I leave for school at the same time as my bus gets me, but the drive is about 25 minutes. In the afternoon it's worse because my parents have to work so I usually have to wait a little before one of them can pick my brother and me up and we can go back to the hotel. Another downside is that I don't have all my clothes, so my outfits are kind of limited to what I brought. But on the other hand, we're right next to the mall so I can go shopping. This is also kind of bad because I've been going there a lot and spending all my money so:/ Another downside is when we get back to our house it's going to be crazy to get everything back to where it belongs and finding everything.
   It's a really fun experience staying in the hotel and seeing all these other people there too. The staff are really nice and welcoming. Although its really nice, I do miss my room and all my pictures so I am excited to go home to my newly renovated house in two weeks.

    This is an interesting experience. When we renovated, we stayed at the house (we didn't do every room) and it was very difficult to be there while it was going on. 2 weeks isn't bad though - enjoy those waffles!

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
