The Last Cyber Assignment and Last blog ever (forever)

Dear Future David,

2020 sure has been an interesting year, and we're only halfway through it. The main star of this dumpster fire of a year is the pandemic currently sweeping the world. Everythings super different now with cyber school and all that, but honestly, after a bit of adaptation, it wasn't that bad. I mean, sure, I would like to hang out with my friends and stuff, and it sucks that spring sports got canceled, but other than that for me personally adjusting to this new lifestyle wasn't that hard. I know that it's not the same for everyone though. Some kids are having a lot harder time learning this way, and there are people that don't have enough savings to last them a while suddenly unemployed essentially. Not to mention all the people that have died. The list goes on and on, so I'd say in the grand scheme of things it's not that bad on me, especially compared to other people. I hope this virus will die down in the summer and that by the fall we'll have a vaccine or cure or something. Though that's probably not likely. Guess we'll have to wait and see. I have to write a few more words so I guess I'll breakdown my average day, though there's not much consistency due to the lack of schedule. So I wake up at around 10 unless I have a class that requires me to be present before then, then I do all morning stuff to get ready for the day. After that, I try to knock out all my work, though I probably postpone a few things till later. Finish and go have lunch. Do a variety of things throughout the rest of the day: Play video games, exercise, watch stuff on my phone, get in a call with my friends, etc. I don't really have a schedule, I just do stuff as I feel like it. After dinner I continue to chill, then at around 10 remember that I postponed stuff and frantically do it and submit it. That's about my normal day in quarantine. Recently, since it has been getting really hot I also go swim in my free time. It's a little boring but comfortable, especially since I've never had this much free time before, even during the summer I'm getting dragged to many different places and doing many different activities off in Europe, which is really fun and I'm grateful that I'm lucky enough to be able too, it's just very intense and doesn't offer a lot of time to chill. Though this summer will be the first summer I haven't gone to Italy to visit my family there since I can remember. I think I've started at around 3 and spent every summer there since so it might be a bit weird this year. Anyway, have fun in the future Future David.

A poor attempt at poetry

The Athenian Plague As the darkness fell on the land, so too did fear. So sure to win the war the Athenians had boasted, how could they have foreseen the horrors to come? Struggling, reaching desperately for their thirst to be quenched, a cruel joke it played on its victims. Pain, distraught, suffering until its victim reached their dying breath. Panic, fear, hopelessness to those who had evaded the Plague. How could anyone be brought to endure such pain? It starts with just one, one person to be sick. Then it becomes ten, ten people to be sick. Then it becomes 100, then 1000, then before you know it mass graves are being built. At least I, living thousand of years after this happened, would never experience an incident like this. Surely now, a plague so great could never happen.

The plague that hit Athens vs. COVID-19

The plague that hit Athens and COVID-19 share a few similarities. When the plague hit Athens, the people panicked, a lot. It is said that they held no regard for the law, nor for behaving honorably. We can see a few people acting like that right now. Fights breaking out over toilet paper, panic buying, and in some cases, even thefts all show the disregard for not only following the law but also for common etiquette. One difference would be that everyone took the plague in Athens very seriously, even to the point of abandoning anyone who had it; many people assumed they were going to die. While there are a lot of people who are acting rational and self-quarantining, there are also a lot of people who are not taking this seriously enough and are still going out in public. I heard a story the other day of a beach in Florida that was filled with people who didn't care about if they spread this epidemic. During the time of the Peloponnesian War, people didn't know a whole lot about
