Quarentien Life: Anthony Del Coro

-
About 8 weeks ago the entire dynamic of my life changed. I could wake up after 9 o'clock and do my school work whenever I want. Although most days I cram all of the work into the first one or two hours so by 11 I have absolutely nothing to do. At the beginning of this lockdown I tried to run everyday but slowly it was every other day, to mondays and thursdays, then to fridays, Fast forward to today and i haven't gone on a run in two weeks. But I told myself I would start running in May, we'll see how that goes.

On top of the unimaginable level of boredom, especially because it feels like i've watched every good show on netflix already, I really miss spending times with friends in school and outside, as well as participating in track. At this point it doesn't seem like we will have a season at all this year, i'm not complaining but it really does suck for juniors and seniors who where looking to get times for colleges to look at.

Elaborating on that, the seniors are going into an economically unstable job market next year, with little to know jobs available right now. Finding a summer job this year is probably going to be hard because most places might not be able to open again, like restaurants. Only time will tell.

Despite all of the boredom I have found some stuff to do, I have found a job working for a few of my neighbors doing odd jobs after I finish my work. I've taken up baking, although I'm not amazing at it. But my banana bread was pretty good. And I've started a project down at beach 3. So all together I would say I have a pretty full day. Now don't get me wrong, I still have hours of free time. But it is still alot less then I did originally.

    I love that you're doing odd jobs and baking! I think you're right that it will be hard to find a summer job, which really stinks for many people.

    I was very excited to see how you, as well as other people are doing because I already know that I am extremely bored, so it was good to hear how you are doing.

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...
