Anis' AEP Diaries E3 - Jumping on Lily Pads

 Tuesday. 17th October 2023, 6:43pm

Skipping off blog #2 is a guilt – but I’m starting anew with blog #3! 

Won. Wonky. Weird. 

As long as I know in myself that I’m trying my hardest, I know I have won. Recently, my experience in school has been wonky. It’s quite ironic how even in my senior year, it could still be rocky, especially in terms of separating my personal life from my school life. Because truth be told, the line gets very blurry sometimes. Within these past few weeks, I find myself facing a stack of works to be completed whilst juggling AS Cambridge retake revision as well. #tough 

I love word games. Out of line but I just really needed to put that one out hahahaha. 

Anyway, in all seriousness, I’ve begun to sit with the uncomfortableness and embrace the weirdness of it. By this, I mean getting lost along the way – given one of the examples, which is my relationship with AEP. It has been inconsistent but of course, that is mainly due to my lack of engagement with the class. However, the past is the past. The biggest lesson that I learnt from this experience is that you will experience bad seasons, but it’s up to you to gather yourself again and start fresh.  


Experiences in AEP

Very contrary to my first few weeks in AEP, my progress has deteriorated. I guess you could say that senior year is slapping me in the face and that I’m at the brink of burning out. However, I could do nothing but to keep pushing through and remind myself of how close I am to graduating and that soon all will be worth it. Every sweat, tear, effort and time. 

For the past few weeks, Ms. Disa has changed the rhythm of our learning in ways that our syllabus is future-focused. What this means is that we have picked up more knowledge on job applications, job interviews, dress code, presentations and resume making – all the big girl stuff. So far, I have really found the resume making beneficial because all this while I've only watched my parents have one, but I have never really understood the details of it. 

To just put it here how fast time flies – it  was 20 days ago that I entertained everyone with my “Hobbies and Interests presentation” and it was 27 days ago that we sat for our midterms exam. Shoutout to padlet for storing my records! 


Biggest takeaway 
 The real world is harsh. The best thing to do is to cry and pick yourself up again and again. 

Dearest memories in this episode 
1. Battling my inner demons to commit on school works 
2. Having the absolute fun dressing up barbie, whilst also learning the technicalities of dress codes for job interviews

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...
