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!

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.
