Blog 1.1 - “New chapter?” - Huda G11

 


Back in AEP 

We’re back! After a few months of our summer holiday, we’re finally back in school. We faced a few days off due to the typhoon but nonetheless, managed to have our first day of AEP last Wednesday. I must say, this is the first time we’ve had most of the chairs in the class occupied haha! It really was something to get used to but I guess this means our classes may or may not become more and more livelier hehehe…We started off with,  as usual, a starter game. Although I was expecting to play one of the games we played last year, Miss Disa had surprised us with the fact that she has discovered more “-dle” game. It was exciting to introduce to our new joiners of AEP our on-going tradition/routine for each lesson and I hope they get to see the fun of this class. After that, we were introduced to a new system where we had to draw “Mini-me’s” to stick on the bulletin board outside the class. This would help us keep track of our assignment and maybe any projects. I think it’s a brilliant idea to see our progress and to not procrastinate eheheh…

Before we started school, AEP students had to take a small quiz based on what they would be learning this year and our knowledge on vocabulary. I got a sense that we might be slightly more busier this year just from looking at our curriculum for this year but I appreciate how organised and well planned out the terms were. Looking forward to it! In terms of vocabulary, I’m glad we get to touch more on that topic this year as it has been something that I regularly struggle on in my writing. 


A new start!

Finally entering senior high! Honestly, it’s a lot of pressure especially since we’re getting closer to applying for universities and thinking about what we want to do or be int he future. It’s something I didn’t really think much about in grades 9 and 10 so when I was told that I had to already choose a strand before grade 11, it hit me like a truck. As of now, i’m still not quite confident whether I have made the right choice as I tend to overthink about a lot of things, especially in my future. 

I used to take IB so when I entered this school and heard that it was organised into strands, it kind of put me to a block as I was confused as to what subjects I desired to take since I didn’t really have that many options but I guess there’s an opportunity cost to everything we do and choose. 

This year, I wish to improve more of my lifestyle in terms of health and my mental state. I plan in doing that by working on my time management, sleep schedule and day-to-day routine in hopes that it will help me improve my academic grades and overall lifestyle. 

Buhbyeee !!

IM THE MAP! - Janek - Blog 2 - T3 - AEP 10

Although maps have always held a peculiar charm for me, a fascination sparked during childhood by watching episodes of Dora the Explorer and her indispensable map, my relationship with them has evolved. Previously, a map was a guide to travelling to places, a tool for discovering new café locations on trips, or simply a way to marvel at rather weird corners of the globe. However, my recent academic assignments have altered my perception of maps, making them less of an object of intrigue and more a source of stress. Essays have made maps worse! Before, engaging with a map never entailed writing an essay. If my father discussed a historical map, I’d happily delve into a verbal explanation rather than penning an analysis. But now, as a student in an Advanced English Program, essays have become a standard expectation. Tackling these assignments has been a significant challenge, turning my once enjoyable encounters with maps into a draining task. It’s clear now that the essays, not my exhau...

Miss Disa is back! - AEP 10- BLOG#4- JANEK

Now that the exams have finally concluded and the stress has lifted, thanks to the break and the high AEP spirit, it seems inevitable that a blog post is in order! The past weeks have been some of the most unusual and unpredictable I've ever experienced in AEP. With a few new faces, Miss Disa's absence, and sudden activities, let's delve into the latest updates on AEP. A Sudden Disappearance? On January 7, just a day before AEP's classes resumed, I felt a sense of fear. Fear that I might have forgotten something, a feeling I often experience. Despite this, I had to enter the class with confidence. However, my expectations took an unexpected turn. Miss Disa was nowhere to be seen. She had apparently left for the UK, and has not yet arrived in the Philippines. This had left many of us  confused, yet simultaneously relieved. No work, no stress! All we had to do was sit in the Filipino class doing nothing. Initially, that's what we thought, until a notification popped u...

Nurin’s AEP Adventure (Term 3 #1)

Hey blog!!! Under some ciscumstances, I have relapsed into my old habits of procrascination and I’m really not proud of that :,) But that’s okay, I’m still in progress and of course I’m gonna have ups and downs. Embracing any chance to change myself for the better, always. Anyways, IT’S TERM 3 ALREADY?!?!? My my, time flies like a speed jet to space. I’m like a leap away from graduating and that thought scares me, in an exciting way. I cannot even imagine yet what the future holds for me and I’m eager to find out. For now, nothing much is going on except for preparations of the musical production on March 9th. So I’ve just been really busy with dance trainings and rehearsals here and there. Expectations are really high for the Grade 12 so we have to give it our best and perform to our fullest potential.  I have been putting off works in the last moments of previous term. I got my Cambridge exam result and it brought me back down to my dark pit, I never want to get out of there like...
