Blog 1.1 - A short thought. [ Izzah ] G12



AEP

The First blog back, or one that I've ever written since i never really ever completed a blog last year :'). Now that I've started on writing this blog, its actually more enjoyable than I thought. I'm not really sure what to write in theses blogs but I hope yall enjoy my thoughts blabbering about. 

We started of the first AEP class for this year, everyone freshly back and excited for what's to come. Its nice to see our little group all sitting at the table excited for a new word game. Once we finished completing the word game Ms. Disa gave us a light talk on "Death by PowerPoint" and how it affects us in class. Getting bored and unable to listen and comprehend a lesson when it is done over a boring presentation. I'm sure we all have experienced that. When Ms. Disa asked us, "do you guys feel unable to focus in these types of presentations" the first thing that popped up in my head was certainly a "yea, allll the time" however, I think its changed this year. In comparison to last year where I just mostly slept in those lectures where a person would usually just put up a presentation and speak continuously and suddenly, give us an activity to do where I have no idea what were even learning about. Most of them would argue I'm unable to listen, but now that Ms. Disa has introduced us to this phrase I realize that it is not entirely my fault. I'm excited to learn how to attract and grasps the attention of people, just like Miss does. It'll be a great skill for the future as a Grade 12. When this "Death by PowerPoint" takes effect and affects me I think a good solution that works for me is to write or draw something. I find that during these boring tedious presentations, writing or doodling something really helps me focus on the speaker and comprehend the lesson better.



LINGERING THOUGHTS

For the last time will it be the "start of a new school year". I'm finally in Grade twelve and honestly, I don't know how to feel about it. Obviously I'm excited, the day is finally getting close to the "last day of school" literally which means I wont have to wake up everyday and sit in a class for hours listening to a lecture. Or that's what I thought would be the end of as a kid. Still, as I grow up I realize that there are bigger, scarier things in the world that I would have to face, universities, money, making a future. 

Things don't suddenly get better after school. Instead, school is more stable time of life. You don't really suffer big risks of being in school. Not really having to worry about money, where you live or what to learn is a privilege. However, life is always changing, and despite all my worries of the future I'm excited to see what's in store for me. Everything happens for a reason, so I shouldn't take anything to heart, it'll just stress me out and what's the point in that? An advice I would give is probably to obviously focus on your studies, take your grades seriously, understand what you learn, nevertheless don't take everything to seriously, go have fun after the stress and don't take bad grades to heart, you cant change the past, focus on improving yourself for the future :)

    Worrying about the future is a futile pass time as you have no way of knowing what will happen so you're wasting energy on nothing. The Stoics said prepare for the worst and hope for the best, and all enlightened being say live in the NOW...all that said, training your mind and body to be strong is also important so just sitting around in a field staring at flowers isn't going to do anyone any good is it.Take what you want from those pearls of wisdom💗...but remember, your life can change suddenly at any time...so never forget how precious life is.

AEP BLOG 3.1 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

           The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind of maps and musicals, and it's quite fun.          March 5, 2025 - I Went on A Vacation...Somewhere      We began with a unique warmup this time.  By turns, we all had to say a new place on the map.  Each person has to retrace the steps of all the previous and so on.  I did not do well, but I didn't jot down notes of everyone's locations on my notebook anyway.  It was a memory game.  Afterwards, Miss taught us how one can remember things by remembering a place they visit often - by associating the different keywords with different objects or areas.     After that, we moved on to worksheets.  These worksheets involved maps and places and tenses.  For some reason, I forgot the difference between the past tenses.  Thankfully, though, I remembered what passive tense was.  Simple English fundamentals like types of...

Blog 3.1 - moving too fast? - huda g11

  From juggling multiple homework and exams to participating in the musical, parliament, varsity and maintaining a social life, the days seem to blur together in a relentless stream of busyness. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose track of time, which left me constantly feeling like having to keep on picking myself up again to start the next new thing. Despite the chaotic nature of this school year, it's important to take a moment to pause and give ourselves a small break. I think that is where AEP comes in line. With the moderate pace of learning new vocabulary, which I have found to be very useful considering I've passed by many familiar vocabs as I go on with my studies ehehehe, AEP gives me a sense of pause to my hustling life with its conversation-filled lessons incorporated with productive discussions on the words as well as the inclusion of what I would see it as “old-style” learning. The idea of bringing back the usual norm before covid of ‘pen and pape...

i stopped counting the blogs at dis point

       Ah boy here we go again Another week, another blog about random stuff. Holy hell everything moves so fast that I feel like I could take a nap and suddenly miss 21 different events. it's a little odd when you get pulled out of your usual schedule and are forced to do a practice exam but like 'they' say: "practice makes perfect." also been rewatching RVB, kinda sad cuz Rooster Teeth decided in a Hail Mary attempt to earn some of that sweet moolah that they should make a large majority of their shows paywalled on yt and you have to use the inconsistent official Rooster Teeth website that is absolutely plagued with stunky add that no one wants. yeah more ads than YOUTUBE ,  AND THEY'RE ALL UNSKIBBABLE BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY ARE AND YOU GET 4 OF THEM EVERY EPISODE (some at the start and then some midroll ads). I know it is to push people to join their site and subscribe to FIRST but Oh ho hoh man... that is a level above despicable.
