AEP Blog #1.2 “Fresh new ideas for the dusty mind”

 Good day dear readers! Today I bring to you a blog that may not be as miserable as the first one; but rather an inspiring one to those who are in need of a special read in the middle of the week. 

I am not so sure how long I’ll keep this blog, but I’ll try to keep it’s length coherent with my standard… so lets welcome our topic of the day! 

“Fresh new ideas for the dusty mind”

The first week after-school can be rather exciting and full of possibilities! You meet your friends and catch up with them, see how your teachers are to mentally plan your schedules, look for plans that could possibly make your school year a little more fun..but once those first 2 weeks of school ends, the sudden rush of disappointment and laziness hits. For some reason, the flowers that show up when you enter the school building have now turned to ugly little moss. The citrus fresh air you used to smell upon entering the classroom have now been replaced by an ugly-sweaty smell. ‘Ah yes, this is definitely what the real school year will be like’ is the conclusion many students make. 

Although they may be right for the most part. 

BUT! 

There is always a way to change your perspective. 

This was me during the first 2 weeks of school, and now looking back I find myself in a rather unpleasant situation since my bed seems to vacuum me into itself to make me not get up on a school morning. Classes have now become ‘class-like’ and behold my school plans have now seem a little duller. 

You see, I have really thought about how to make my future school years a little better. This will last for the entire school year if I don’t change anything — I’ll be stuck in the same miserable hole for the next 150+ days. So there is a plan that I formed, and this plan was only made possible because of AEP. 

“Be consistent with your blogs” 

Yes, exactly. I find myself seeing comfort in creating these types of blogs. During the past few weeks in AEP, we mostly tackled and got used to our very new schedule, Ms gave us new plans, new goals and new ideas. All of which we have to keep up with. 

I find AEP as more than just an ‘English subject’. Perhaps its the weight of my shoulders being removed as soon as I enter her classroom, or maybe the same exact Vivaldi’s pieces playing on repeat since last year. It feels like home, a comfortable learning space where I can make mistakes and learn from them without a worry. This type of respect really makes me want to do better in AEP and give actual time to review. However, as a student , I find myself having a hard time to manage my tasks — so I’ll have to work on that during the coming weeks. Surely enough, before it ends up getting worse. 

Thats it for this week, see you all in the next one! 

P.S. We made little drawings of ourselves in AEP, they are so cute — I really cant wait to see how the points go!

IM THE MAP! - Janek - Blog 2 - T3 - AEP 10

Although maps have always held a peculiar charm for me, a fascination sparked during childhood by watching episodes of Dora the Explorer and her indispensable map, my relationship with them has evolved. Previously, a map was a guide to travelling to places, a tool for discovering new café locations on trips, or simply a way to marvel at rather weird corners of the globe. However, my recent academic assignments have altered my perception of maps, making them less of an object of intrigue and more a source of stress. Essays have made maps worse! Before, engaging with a map never entailed writing an essay. If my father discussed a historical map, I’d happily delve into a verbal explanation rather than penning an analysis. But now, as a student in an Advanced English Program, essays have become a standard expectation. Tackling these assignments has been a significant challenge, turning my once enjoyable encounters with maps into a draining task. It’s clear now that the essays, not my exhau...

Miss Disa is back! - AEP 10- BLOG#4- JANEK

Now that the exams have finally concluded and the stress has lifted, thanks to the break and the high AEP spirit, it seems inevitable that a blog post is in order! The past weeks have been some of the most unusual and unpredictable I've ever experienced in AEP. With a few new faces, Miss Disa's absence, and sudden activities, let's delve into the latest updates on AEP. A Sudden Disappearance? On January 7, just a day before AEP's classes resumed, I felt a sense of fear. Fear that I might have forgotten something, a feeling I often experience. Despite this, I had to enter the class with confidence. However, my expectations took an unexpected turn. Miss Disa was nowhere to be seen. She had apparently left for the UK, and has not yet arrived in the Philippines. This had left many of us  confused, yet simultaneously relieved. No work, no stress! All we had to do was sit in the Filipino class doing nothing. Initially, that's what we thought, until a notification popped u...

Nurin’s AEP Adventure (Term 3 #1)

Hey blog!!! Under some ciscumstances, I have relapsed into my old habits of procrascination and I’m really not proud of that :,) But that’s okay, I’m still in progress and of course I’m gonna have ups and downs. Embracing any chance to change myself for the better, always. Anyways, IT’S TERM 3 ALREADY?!?!? My my, time flies like a speed jet to space. I’m like a leap away from graduating and that thought scares me, in an exciting way. I cannot even imagine yet what the future holds for me and I’m eager to find out. For now, nothing much is going on except for preparations of the musical production on March 9th. So I’ve just been really busy with dance trainings and rehearsals here and there. Expectations are really high for the Grade 12 so we have to give it our best and perform to our fullest potential.  I have been putting off works in the last moments of previous term. I got my Cambridge exam result and it brought me back down to my dark pit, I never want to get out of there like...
