AEP Blog #1.3 “Slowing down and speeding up”

 Hello there dear reader! Welcome back to another (well.. more like hopefully the first and last late blog) this was supposed to be uploaded a while back, but thankfully with the mercy of Ms Disa - I was able to have Saturday as my due-date. I am so thankful for that, my apologies Ms! 

This week has been..rather tiring. I kid you not each subject teacher probably collectively decided to throw quizzes at us for this week and the next. Am I complaining? Yes. Is it understandable? Yes. This is because our exams are coming pretty soon, so I digress. (Hypothetically) 

Upon writing this blog, because of my goldfish memory span — I checked padlet and looked through what we had done. My classmates usually write more in padlet than I do, so I honestly would want to thank them everyday for expressing their thoughts in an in-depth manner which frankly I should do too during padlet times. When I looked through padlet, it mentioned on how we went through our assessments given the previous meeting. 

Right. 

When it comes to seatwork. I don’t particularly despise it. I mean — we go through words that we probably wont use on a daily basis and then scratch our brains through complex word combinations, but this should be the fun part because who doesn’t like sounding smart and exceptionally using vocabulary to its max potential in our writing during first language english class. Its a win-win. I think the only reason why I may not like it is because my vocabulary knowledge is very limited — sure I read books but they are far from using such intense, brain boggling, imagery. So in the end of the day, it is a benefit to anyone. 

I know this blog is relatively short, but this is all for this week. I should’ve written this earlier but here we are, in bed — with a rather sickly body. Thank you, seasonal flu! (On a side note though: Ive been going on a fitness journey — so hopefully that would help me with my rather weak immunity.)


Thats it for this one! See you all in the next.

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...
