Blog 1.3 - Getting used to it. [Izzah] Gr12



Writing our Future.

 We are now working on our Cover Letters and our Resume. Ms. Disa gave us a document on tips and templates for us to learn from. Starting my cover letter was pretty hard, however after reading for examples and looking at templates, I’m getting the hang of it and actually starting to enjoy it. Writing my resume was quite fun, it was like looking back into the past and my life in school, kinda nostalgic. However, it was pretty uncomfortable at first, writing only good things about your self feels a bit awkward, however I’ve gotten used to it and realised that maybe i am not such a inactive person. Doing this task has made me realised that i should maybe be more active and participate in more organisations and activities to benefit my future. I should partake in activities beneficial to my resume such as being in organisations, varsities, participating in the Model United Nations.




Getting back on track.

Term 1 is almost coming to an end, I’m starting to get the hang of doing my assignments, although not on time at least submitted and done. The term start was a  rough patch with what felt like hundreds of piling work and disappointed teachers. Recently I’ve been talking about my problems and getting advice on dealing with my problems. One key tactic that has really helped me is working and completing tasks in school instead of my house. Since I’ve been really struggling to start my work and completing my work at home, I really do work better and more efficiently when I’m in a school setting. I've really dedicated only 2 hours to school at home, excluding studying. Instead most of the time at home is usually spent for my free time so that i don't feel very overwhelmed and get burnt out. I have a daily schedule now consisting of a earlier sleeping time, 11pm. My younger self would be PROUD. Furthermore, I’ve been trying to wake up ealier, during sunrise, however, major fail. It’s nice to have things complete now, i have less self guilt and can finally focus on what i really want to do without thinking about school work. School work feels more enjoyable now rather then it just being a task.

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,...

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...

Short. Sweet. Simple! - Chloe Lloveras- Blog 1 T1- AEP10

      Back at it again! The new school year has begun and AEP along with it. But this year, it comes with a twist: a much more jam-packed schedule and more essay-writing. Did I mention that the vocabulary quizzes are back and that blogs will be more frequent now? No? Well, you're in for a treat!      We hadn't even met for the first session yet, but we were already juggling assessments like a syllabus quizlet, a "what's your English level?" test, and even a knowledge quiz about IELTS writing task one, something I haven't encountered before. When our first meeting did commence, it wasn't until a week later due to the heavy rainfall and strong winds so classes were canceled. As you might've guess, we were already behind and AEP hadn't even begun yet!  Before starting, Miss Disa established the basics for the new school year: 1. Every meeting will begin with a word game with a five-minute time limit. If we don't finish in time, we'll still mov...
