The Irony - Chloe Lloveras- Blog 3 T1- AEP 10

 


Heading into AEP this week had turned into a nightmare for me. Not only did I study the wrong vocabulary list for this week's quiz, but I also found out the morning of! But how exactly did this happen, you may ask? Let us start from the beginning.

As soon as the new list of vocabulary had been posted for next week, I immediately opened the link and scanned the words just to get an idea of what I would be dealing with. During the weekend, I studied each and every one of those words, practicing their definitions and using them in a sentence. Come Monday morning, I felt like I was ready. I had memorized each and every word by heart...only to find out that the link that was posted was the wrong one!

I found this out soon after I saw my classmate studying a different list. Only then did I check the "Google Classroom" link again to see that it had been changed and comments underneath the post saying that I had been studying freshman unit 2 instead of sophomore unit 2! Naturally, panic set in and I scrambled to memorize the words.

But with the limited time due to other classes and a fresh 20-word list to memorize, I knew it would be impossible. So, I prepared for the worst honestly. I would either test my luck at spinning the wheel and hope that it would land on a word I somewhat knew or ask Miss Disa to give me a word from the list that I had actually studied. At that point, I was even ready to list all 20! 

Thankfully though, it was a rainy Monday morning, which, you know what that means! It was a "Scrabble" day! I was saved! I would finally have the time to memorize the new word list and that heavy panic clamped around my heart disappeared. Phew! 

We started the morning right away and broke into 4 teams: Sayum and Shasmeen, Leo and Haziq, Meral and Naboni, and, lastly, Julia and I. We managed to come up with words like "quit" in the triple word part and "boy," which was closely wrapped around another word, scoring us lots of points. 

In the end, we got 83 points total. Sadly, we were 6 short of Meral and Naboni's score. It was a very tight game! I can't wait for our next "Scrabble" meeting. 

The next day, interestingly enough, we started with 2 word games, "Diffle" and "Wordle" because we were extra speedy that morning. The 1st word was "alliance," which we scored in 3 and the 2nd was "index," which we scored in 3 again. Then, the vocabulary quiz commenced.

I sighed with relief as the wheel landed on "nostalgia," the longing for things in the past. I quickly used it in a sentence and sat down. Finally, it was over! And it wasn't that bad at all. 

But then, Miss Disa shocked us all and said "Round 2!" We all swiftly perked up and got ready for our turns yet again. I got "retrogress" the 2nd time around, which meant going back to a previous condition. Using it in a sentence was simple and now, finally, for real this time, it was over. 

For the remaining part of the session, we moved back to essay writing, using the same prompt for our 1st meeting. This time, I actually managed to somewhat finish. 

Overall, this week's AEP sessions had started out as a nightmare, but actually ended in a daydream. Who knew that my wish for "Scrabble" last week would not only come true, but also save me? The irony is quite baffling but also hilarious! This week really taught me to double-check links and try not to panic as much- this, I definitely need to work on. And I guess the irony of this week's session showed me that!

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.
