Temple of Apollo and Temple of Artemis

Image
Today is the last day before Spring Break! Today we were assigned to find two images of Greek architecture and explain them. The first image I found was the Temple of Apollo: The temple of Apollo was built in the 7th c. B.C. in Delphi, Greece. It was a very big temple, but as you can see in the picture  is  was  destroyed many times over the years.  It was built by Trophonios and Agamedes, two legendary architects. The temple was built and named after the god of  archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry, and more. It is known as the  religious  sanctuary sacred to honor Apollo.  The next greek architecture I found was the Temple of Artemis:   Both of these pictures are of the Temple of Artemis, but the first one is what people beige it looked like from ancient days, and the second picture is what is left of it now. The temple was built in the 6th century B.C. and is located in the western coast of the Asia Minor, now a Turkey.

Thought about cyber school

I have lost count of the number of cyber days, but today we were assigned to write a thoughtful blog about integrity, new responsibilities, how this affects others, and how we handle this situation. Like what was said in the assignment, this is a new experience for all of us. For some it might be hard to adapt to the situation, for others it might be easier. We are all handling this differently. I think we need to consider everyone involved. From my experiences so far, in the two weeks of cyber school, I can say that I do get frustrated because of the workload that I get somedays. I admit that I find myself trying to find shortcuts to finish earlier sometimes, but most times I actually put a lot of effort in my work. I actually get homework that I have to submit every day, except d and h days, for dance. It is different things like filming we do certain workouts or following along in an online class. Sometimes they can be fun. After reading the blogpost for today, I realize that we ar
