dear future self,  
This freshman year was like no other. There were so many crazy and unexpected events that have occurred. The months I spent at school were so fantastic, but there were some were rough times. I started off the year with volleyball. I never really played volleyball before except one year and I was so excited but nervous at the same time. I made the team and it was the best time of my life, I loved all the girls on JV and varsity. I made so many friends from the team with the older girls.  I absolutely loved the bus rides to our away games and playing so many new schools I have never heard before. I loved my classes that I was in and I met a lot of new people. I met one of my current best friends Lilly since she was in almost all my classes. I am so thankful that I met her, she is such a joy to be around all the time. And this whole year I met so many new people that I am still currently friends with. Homecoming was so exciting for me since I’ve never been, it was a great experience. My favorite part was finding a dress, it is so exciting. Christmas rolled around the corner and we decorated the whole school into a Christmas palooza. There were lights everywhere and the decorations were beautiful. This time of the year was the best because everyone was so happy, and we did fun things in class for Christmas. Basketbsll started and I made the team. I already knew a lot of the girls just from school and the season was going great. The new year came, and it was time to change some classes. I really liked my new classes and I love having more friends in my classes. The year was going so well until March. My best friend who moved to Frederick last year was planning to take me to Philidelphia for a concert. It was on a Thursday night so I would have missed that Friday. That week came and the corona virus was just started to get serious. There were rumors about school getting shut down, but no one thought it was going to happen. Fast forward we were on our way to the concert and it got cancelled, we still went to Philly anyway just to have a fun time. I got the email confirming school was closing for two weeks. I like this close because it was a little break from going into school, but then the two weeks kept extending. When we got the last email shutting schools for the rest of the year, I was sort of sad. I would never step foot into school being a freshman anymore. This whole time has been rough for me, I have been struggling with the online school more than others. No matter how hard I tried to do my schoolwork I fell into a drought. I was so miserable; I wasn’t used to being home all this time and being alone nonstop. I missed my friends so much and just wanted things to go back to normal. Currently everything is starting to open back up and we can see friends. I am really hoping to go back into school in the fall and hopefully this won't change our summer. This is definitely a huge life changing experience.

1) Describe the kinds of dramas that were performed in the theaters of ancient Greece.  the Greeks wrote two kinds of drama, that included comedy and tragedy. tragedy was a serious drama about common themes like love, war, hate, and  betrayal. the main person was someone usually of importance. comedy was filled with humor. it was used to make fun of higher people and politics.  b. Describe the similarities between an ancient Greek production and a film you have seen recently. The Greek production – and the film – can be either a comedy or a tragedy. i am picking the movie Romeo and Juliet. this movie was based on a play that was written in the 1500's. it is a tragedy about a girl and boy who fell in love but their families hate each other. the greeks loved their plays, they put much thought into their plays.  3) Find an online image of a theater from ancient Greece, post it to your blog, and describe it in a few sentences. https://images.app.goo.gl/1rStsTcXPPssUCMN6

we are facing a world crisis right now. saying that we have all taken precautions and merged to online schooling. this is the third week in cyber schooling and we are still facing difficulties and interruptions. it is hard to sit down in the comfort of our own homes and push ourselves to do our schoolwork. not only is there difficulties our workload feels like it has doubled. it is much harder to not be able to ask our teacher questions face to face or make our work easier by taking the shortcut. there are many pros and cons to online learning. the hardest parts for me is to actually start my work, when i wake up i don't want to do schoolwork but once i start it gets easier. my favorite part of this is that i can work at my own pace during the day and do what classes when i want to. i can definitely tell which classwork is easier to do on my own and which classes are not so easy on my own. it has been a struggle these past few weeks for everybody, but there is always a way and we c

Bucephalus and Alexander were  inseparable. they were best friends. Alexander was the only one person who could ride this horse. he rode this horse everywhere and all the time, into every single battle he has been through. Alexander got this horse at age 12 or 13 by wagering with his father. a horse dealer offered this horse for 13 talents, which is remarkably high.  Bucephalus was a huge black stallion, who was known to be untamable until Alexander came along. he turned the horse away from his  shadow so he didn't have to see. saying that Alexander was the only one who could tame him shows how close of a bond they have, horses put lots of their trust into their owner if they are worthy enough. when Alexander was older he was away on an  excursion and someone kidnapped  Bucephalus. he died 326 BC and Alexander named a city after him.
