The first blog has been written, and it's been about a week since its deadline, and it's apparent to the class that many things could happen in two sessions. Furthermore, the padlets have also been completed, and reminiscing about them has been awfully pleasant. Knowing that the past me has suffered more than the one currently living in the present is relieving. Although the future remains untold, let's just look further back instead. Anyway, it seems as though the past is an indelible satisfaction to many. In this case, let's indulge in this past and perhaps give our honest opinions on it!
To begin with, we have our resplendent Monday morning with a warm-up game, which, I must say, has changed in a certainly contorted manner. You would never have expected the warm-up games to switch up, but recalling Miss's revelation to advance and make the game choice inconsistent changes the picture. The warmup game on this day would be entitled "diffle", peculiar to say the least, but rather intriguing. The whole class, at least in my eyes, had flared in either excitement or unease. Diffle, although relatively humorous, has people at the edge of their seats filled with anxiety. I, on the other hand, felt worse. Welcoming this newcomer into our routine and thinking it would be difficult is a struggle. Worry was filling our bodies as quick as a broken dam filling out a lake. Soon after giving it a shot, saying easy would be nothing short of an understatement. "Escort" was the word, and achieving such had only taken a couple of tries. It was pure bliss to have a couple minutes to just lay on that class's excruciatingly stiff chairs, gazing at the board, dazzled at all the greens that were displayed. It was only soon after the pain had returned.
This was due to the fact that we had to do a vocabulary test that was assigned the week before. I was capable enough to excel in this test, so it wasn't all bad. Later on, it really did. The supposed work that I had no intention of doing due to my absence was brought up again by Miss. The whole process of writing was a blur, and I'd like to keep it that way, so let's move on to our next session.
On our Tuesday session, a new game came forward. In a game so wicked, the creators had to include the addition of the word "evil" before wordle. Evil Wordle, despicable to the core, however, brings no challenge to beat. It took us about 7 tries to basically play Wordle, but instead the game changes the word each time we add a word. Makes sense? Well, to me, not really. The game wasn't able to exhibit this rule, but I thought it was most lovely as we wouldn't have to go through all of that.
Moving on, we had to practise our IELTS. The word has me on the floor crying. Anytime IELTS is mentioned, the prompts regurgitate from the pits of hell, only to bring eternal suffering to the class. However, the IELTS gods were very generous in their prompts this day; it hasn't provided its utmost difficult ones yet. I believe Miss Disa will have us do those when the time we are ready has finally occurred. This may not be exactly as long as Miss is laying out the fundamentals and giving us lectures such as how to shorten a passage by transforming a noun into a verb. It sounds like something out of a fictitious book, I know. This was, however, quite the opposite, once you've actually understood it.
Soon after having this lesson, we moved on to DOGONEWS to use our spare time. And right as this was announced, we headed straight into the website. One particular title had Miss in awe. It was about the hammerhead shark's ability to maintain their body temperature with the use of their gills. A story that was nothing out of the ordinary, but that nonetheless captivated me. After reading this spectacular story, we proceeded with spitting out the facts we'd learned from the article. Everyone had their chance to do so, and so it took up the rest of our time
. This was the end of our sessions for the week, and it was...very AEP. It was joyous at the same time, filled with pure torture—a classic welcome to AEP—and truly a wonderful experience. I can't wait for another week's worth of these types of experiences. Hopefully this time with a little less essays! Anyway, that would wind up this blog. I hope it was a wonder for those who read it, especially you, miss! Until next time!
