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!

And So It Begins...- Chloe Lloveras- Blog 3 T3- AEP 10

  Maps have become my new enemy. I know this may sound dramatic, but I really just can't seem to like them. As an artist who loves anything related to colors and drawings, you'd think a map of all things would be right up my alley, but you'd definitely be wrong. The feeling of facing your adversary is like no other- this desperate thirst to defeat them, dying to be quenched. And so it begins... The day before the exam, we played "Squardle," but the joy it gave us upon completion was short-lived as it was replaced by the impending atmosphere of doom looming above us. I felt a pit in my stomach when I walked into the classroom the next morning. But I was prepared...or so I had thought. I only managed to score 87%, which in reality was actually a 77% because Miss Disa added 10 points to help bump up our grades. I barely passed really, but that doesn't matter now. When I had finished taking the exam, all I could think of was that it was finally over. I could relax...

AEP- Blog 3.3

 Hello hello hello there! We meet again, for one. last. blog.  Woah, it has been a ride hasn't it. A year sure does go by fast. It seriously felt not that long ago that I had written my first blog of the year. Definitely did not feel like 9 whole months. Reading said blog made realize now that I had nothing to worry about after all. That I have been proven wrong about not having fun in AEP. Sure, the work has gotten a lot tougher and was doubled to what we had last year. But hey, we're in G8 now and that's to be expected, AEP or not. And we still managed to play word games, some old, some new, and challenged ourselves in the best way possible. The seatworks we had DEFINITELY challenged me this year. But I wouldn't say all of them were so bad, only some. I really enjoyed the vocab quizzes. It really did help expand my vocabulary, and now whenever I read a book and encounter a word from one of the quizzes, I get all excited cause I know what it means now. I feel a bit sad...
