Anis' AEP Diaries E2 - Left Behind the Train Tracks

Wednesday, 18th October 2023, 2:31pm 

What Happened? 

Never mention the timing of this blog because it is a spider web, in my brain. Supposedly, blog #2 was supposed to be due ages ago – but for I am only a human (with a bad habit of procrastinating) – I have left this one out for far too long. However, I will still take this opportunity to really consolidate what took place within those times to make sure I see the efforts I’ve put in! 

One thing that I appreciate about the Grade 12s AEP students is that we never back down from any word games. Be it with the ones that will take us 45 minutes, best believe that we will sit there and finish everything. We have went from wordle to squardle to diffle and so much more. 

Presentation 

Consolidating from our past lesson, we have completed our topic in mastering the art of presentation. From the language we use, to the font size, to the volume of our voice – every nook and cranny have been talked through to tackle all sides of presenting. We have had two chances at doing so, to really apply the technical skills we have learned. Though presenting can be nerve wrecking sometimes because of the amount of preparation required before doing it, I really find myself enjoying learning as it allows me to break patterns that I have been practicing for years. There is also this sense of comfort that comes with sharing your personal stories to your classmates (sentimental again that I’m graduating shh). 

Project: Breathe 

One of the key events was the project Breathe, which in truth, I have completed only halfway through. However, I do have good experiences in those few days I’ve done it! To be fair, I have always been a person who enjoys meditation. Primarily because sometimes my anxiety could get the best of me, and because of that, I need to create my own bubble in which my space is ultimately mine to control and occupy. Kind of a getaway. There was this one time when I decided to meditate during night time, after I had come home from a tough school day and I had found myself absolutely knocked out 5 minutes in. I do feel slightly guilty that the man was talking to basically no one, but the point is that it was really nice to let things off of my shoulder and just care about nothing else but the counts of my breath. 

Biggest takeaway

1. Stop running away from blogs 
2. Just continue with the pace of learning!

Peanuts!! - Blog 2.1 - Aire M.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the world of Blogger! I am your writer, Aire Marcellana, presenting to you a blog of quality writing, containing a girl's simple hopes and dreams. Hopes and dreams crushed knowing like 5 people reads these. I do still find fun in writing these, however, especially since I love to write. Our first few lessons in the 2nd term proved to be quite fun and entertaining to write about. I got a bit stressed on our first lesson, but all in all, a fantastic start to the new term. Reflecting on last term, although I did put effort into AEP, I didn't prioritize it as much as I should've, even if it is a minor subject. I am grateful I got a good grade, yet I have high hopes for the terms to come. 11/06/23 We started off our term 2 with some good old Squaredle . Grades 7, 9, and 10 have already paved the way to finishing the Squaredle by having already completed the easy words. With 63 out of 79 words settled, our class went on a journey to get all of th...

The "Queen of Vocab" - Blog 1.5 - Aire M.

Hello... to pretty much no one. Probably no one except Miss Disa reads these blogs, no matter how much effort I put into them. I really like writing these blogs, as they are my way of venting all my feelings and thoughts out into the void. With that being said, here's the blog :) Yeah, sorry for the short intro today. I'm feeling sleepy 😪   10/02/23 Today in AEP, we used the whole 5th period trying to complete Squaredle , and in the last 10 minutes, Miss told us we'd get 7 merits each if we finished. It didn't seem like a long way off, as we just had 14 words left. We didn't get the 7 merits, but we only had... 7 words left? Still pretty good. In the second period, Miss Disa explained how exams can trick you. Well, to be more specific, questions that, if you didn't read the instructions, you could get wrong. And those questions were very easy. All you had to do was read the instructions. But somehow, even the smartest people can get tricked. (Honestly, Summer,...

Congee — Leo's Second Term Second Blog

Writing this before and after hectic weeks is truly something to be excited about. It feels nice to have 2 days of unforgettable laxness before school savages into your brain and makes it as mushy as congee (or as foreigners call it, porridge). Honestly, seeing the to-do list for next week, my brain already is mushier than congee—you can even call it water. However, this is not the time to talk about the morbid demises in the future, especially before Christmas! Let's talk history! The first Monday after writing the last blog, we were given another . . . Squardle! With 65 words and 40 minutes on the clock, we did a whopping 50 out of the given 65, which is spectacularly not very spectacular! I do not recall any of the words unfortunately, but from what the others have said, it was tough for us. I guess we just had a bad day, because the next day . . . The next day, Tuesday, we were given another Squardle! Under 10 minutes, we unveiled 25 words, which we were able to start off our l...
