Welcome back to one of Leo's hilarious blogs of the famous class of AEP! I have read the last few blogs from the grade 8, and it is indeed amazing to be reminded that I'm now one of the seniors! (Well, it's slightly scary). However, I can't say I'm not eager to learn about what's going to happen this year. My initial thoughts of AEP, when I first came, were quite dull and different. But now, I'm great to be back, writing to my heart's content.
Before heading right into the future, let us take a trip down memory lane. Last year, we learnt grammar. It was a year of preparation for the preparation of IELTs. To say I haven't been warned about how much the essays seem to pressure would be a definite understatement; I have been fearing for writing words on a piece of paper for a few minutes. Anyway, I digress. Perusing my last blog post in grade 9 has not been fun, reminiscing how much effort I decided to splatter into typing it. Last year, we began the year with past tenses, then to passives, and causatives (which was a personal favorite because of ... ), then to conditionals, and finally one grammatical error of our own choice. It was a great year, sans the yowling to go face-to-face classes. If I were to bring back one part of grade 9, it would probably be the group project where one of us (I was picked on!) was selected to be the leader, and we all collaborate and form one presentation—in last year's case, a video—altogether.
So, let's head into the future. This year, we will stop the preparing of the preparation of IELTs, and begin the preparation of IELTs! One step forward! In addition to that, we will have the vocabulary quizzes, which I, for a second, thought that we had to memorize 100 words until someone pointed out it was only 15. Along with them, we would have scrabble days, DOGO news, and the fantastic projects to pair up with the delectable bundle of sweet essays that's bundled up (with agony) and ready to go!
My thoughts this year are merely of what you'd expect from an average high school student: "Goodness, am I really going to survive!?" Because, one, I don't think I am going to, and two, I'm probably visiting monsters of assignments that I'm going to have to fight against with a blunt stick and a dream. If that isn't the greatest analogy that I could ever come up with for the stress I have for my GSCEs, then I won't ever know what is!
So, as I read through this final draft and have my thoughts all written on paper—or typed on the monitor—I ready myself for this new school year with a fresh mindset, a pair of converse shoes and around 50 new notebooks that will probably go empty in the end of the year. I guess I overestimated the number of essays we'd do.
