Online School Makes Me Want to Scream -Paige De Giovanni

-
After doing online school for over a month now I've come to a conclusion: I really really hate it. Now don't get me wrong, it's necessary right now has its benefits ex. being able to wake up late and stay home but it's also super annoying.

Every time I get a classroom notification for another assignment stacked up on top of another I feel like I'm drowning and most of my teachers have us doing more outside of school than we ever did in school. For example, my math teacher had us doing 15-20 questions of work every day which doesn't seem like much but normally inside the classroom, we did 5-10. My french teacher assigns us paragraphs to write, questions to do, and sometimes video type projects to do every day as well as meetings, (trust me when I tell you we don't do that much in a week in his class). AV, the class I took for fun literally sucks now because we can't film or edit anything so now we have to write papers on documentaries and in history we have to do GROUP PROJECTS TO TEACH EACH OTHER.

GROUP PROJECTS.   IN QUARANTINE.

Don't get me wrong, me, Hayden and Luca are gonna facetime at some point and slay the assignment but I honestly don't know why a group project is the best idea right now. I don't trust myself to teach my classmates to pass the test on the unit and I don't trust my classmates to teach me. At least we can use google now. The number of times I've snapped people saying "I'm gonna scream" because of all my work (lol) throughout the 5+ hours I've been working today is insane. And it's only Monday. `
(This such a petty blog post I'm so sorry).

 It's just way too much for my small smooth brain to handle.

    Oh same. In some classes it's like we do more work than we did before, and in others we can't do nearly as many activities as we could in class. The (dare I say) fun of school is pretty much gone.

    I'm sorry that the work is piling up. That really does stink. Let's hope we can get through this and never have to do it again.

    I totally agree! It's especially hard because I took a science elective and we were supposed to do fun labs that we can't do now because we're not in school.

    I relate to this 100% - especially the feeling of dread upon seeing the endless classroom notifications.

    I legit feel this. I honestly hate online school and I haven't learned anything at all. Seriously classes feel optional rather than mandatory and it's really impacting how I retain stuff. Also I love the meme!

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...
