Blog 1.1 - A step to a new year (Hanis Grade 12)

AEP CLASS

Hello everyone!!! Good to be back here on blogger. It's been how long...2 weeks? since the first day of school happened. Still can't believe that school is starting and I'm in grade 12 which means I'm the senior and I have a whole reputation to uphold and this could go on and on but that is for a later story. Blogging is something that I would never know how to start, but once I start, I can't stop. Is it just me?

Anyways, a new year means new resolution and new resolution means new changes. Well it doesn't mean that everything changes. Some things still stay the same. I guess one thing that hasn't change in aep classes this year are the brain starters we do before each lesson. I personally think that the amount of brain challenge that we can use to start the class is endless. New versions of  'wordle' are being created even in this moment. I'm not complaining though :)

Never would I ever thought that I would be using my art skills in aep. I don't have any art skills in the first place but I like to be delusional and think that I'm actually good at drawing. We created/drew mini me's! I did mine so dirty. My mini me deserves so much more but it's okay. The mini me's are part of the new system that we're implementing in aep.

After the word games and short drawing class, Ms Disa gave us a lecture or should I say 'presentation' about the importance of a speaker during a powerpoint presentation. When Ms Disa asked if we had felt bored during a presentation before. I nodded my head immediately simply because I can relate to it. The weight of a good presentation doesn't depends on the powerpoint itself, but it depends on the speaker. This would be pretty hard for me because I really hate speaking in front of the whole class or just speaking in general. I tried to be professional and put up an 'act' but I break out of character really easily. When I am the center of attention, I feel pressured very easily which then leads me to stutter. I've recently developed this problem due to the increasing amount of presentation I have to do in one school year. I have no problem in listening to long lectures because I have grown to discipline myself in doing so but sometimes, you can help but squeeze a yawn or a stretch between two sentences. I prefer listening than speaking however, there's so much that I could do other than running away from my problem. I have to face myself and force it to move forward which will always be a struggle but what comes from it is a skill that would come handy for me in the future. The main audience that I would have to speak in front of are mainly just my friends and the subject teacher. I have to re-establish that school IS a safe place and you are allowed to express your opinions.

I noticed that the structure of my blog is all over the place. That just shows how messed up my mind is. Everything is all over the place but they all have a destination to go to. I wanted to talk about aep but I'm not sure about what I rambled about here. I never know how to end a blog like do I say bye? Do I make like a conclusion? Idk but I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do. So far, that's it. Maybe there were some other things to discussed but I missed the timing to mention it in the blog. Oh well. I'll make sure to do better in the next one :)
