Today is class was the end off the plague and almost all the sick students came back but they had a lot of work to so the people that were there all week (like me) worked on the blog for today and any other makeup work from a different class. Through the week we learned about Egypt, Egyptians were polytheistic and believed in many gods such as Re the sun god, Osiris the god of the dead, and Isis, goddess representing the ideal mother and wife. Egyptians believed in an afterlife, where their hearts would be weighed by Anubis and had to be as light as a feather or the devourer of souls would appear and eat it.The Egyptians had many beliefs like the belief that the pharaoh or king of Egypt was a god and to be treated like one. They also had social class so they were more elite and powerful Egyptians that got the opportunity to be mummified and welcome to the afterlife.

My essay topic will be about the trojan war, one of the most influential wars in the world.  The first paragraph would be an introduction to Greece and how they fought wars in that time period. My second paragraph would be on who fought in this specific war and why they began to fight. The next paragraph would cover the war it and who won and the tactics used by either sides. The fourth paragraph would cover the thoughts on the war being fake because greek mythology told the stories of the war using greek gods. The final paragraph would explain the significance of the war to greek history.

Dear future Trevor, This situation is crazy that we are in right now, its the first time something like this has ever happened to me. It really messed up freshman lacrosse season, the entire season was canceled. I wasn't too upset about that though to be honest, because I wanted to focus more on football and start on varsity as a sophomore. We will see what happens with that soon though hopefully this virus doesn't take away the football season too because I would be really upset if that happened. The whole online learning took some getting used too. especially getting up at a certain time to take a test or join an online class. Its crazy that my freshman year in high school is over. It feels like just yesterday I was learning about John Carrol and if I would wanna go there or not, look at me now. This summer I really hope its a good one because for the next couple summers I'm gonna be focusing on football a lot more to prepare for junior and senior season so this summer
