Blog 1.4 - 3rd circle (How did Dante do this???)

 This is a lil late oopsie- but hey no hard feelings. This is all to catch up from Blog 3 anyway.

So many suspensions!

SO MANY SUSPENSIONS!!!

I'm not gonna lie. The first... say 1-2 days of suspension was great. I love not having to come to school. I love having holidays. But by the 4th day, I got worried. EXTREMELY worried. Mind you, we barely had any time left during the week for classes and to review especially since Midterms was the next week after that. I was really praying that they might push the Midterms honestly, but that was clearly just a pipe dream. Regardless, I crammed all my studying during the suspensions and therefore had a wonderful time during exams (I lied, I did nothing during our suspensions and I was absolutely miserable and I only crammed everything the weekend before the exams.)

I think my midterms went rather fine, actually. They weren't easy. God knows they weren't easy. But I didn't fail any and all my Coolsis grades were above 90 so I can say that I stayed afloat somehow. I could've done better, clearly. I could've spent more time prioritizing my work and studies. But hey, that's all just something to work on in the future, right?

Of course, having suspensions means we missed quite a lot of time for AEP. Our midterms was scheduled for the week before the exams and honestly I was STRESSING to study all our words and collocations for that day. Thankfully, Miss Disa was a godsend and moved our midterms to the week after the main midterms week. Okay. Fair. Manageable. I was pretty thankful that she was able to let us review just a few weeks longer.

Anyways, how was the AEP midterms? It went... quite well actually. I got full 30 points! (Yay Yay Yay!!!) And that's why you cram, kids! (I'm kidding, please don't. It's very unhealthy.)

Oh and also! Miss Disa asked us to do the little meditation routine for our project. I won't sugarcoat it and act like I liked it all that much. It was good, really. Helped me relax and helped me sleep. But it's not "my thing" per se. It was definitely a fun thing to try out but I most definitely struggled staying awake during all those sessions so I'm not sure how much benefits I actually got from them. 

Anyways, what did we actually do on September 27? I've been rambling on and onnn about everything before that but what happened during our normal classes? Well, we started a new topic on vocabularies: Employment! To be honest, I preferred our previous topic relating to politics and the like but this one isn't bad too. We played this Wordle game called "Squaredle" where you match up words (Wow, how new!) I personally like this one quite a lot because it's more challenging but frankly it makes more sense than Contexto. We did some light seatwork and that was about it for that day!

Wow, that's a lotta words. I've rambled quite a lot, haven't I? Well, thank you for reading anyway!

yet another blog for this week

 yet again we do the thing where we type what we remember about the stuff that happened this week. So, there's not much tbh, there isn't much going on other than I picked up EP again since I think I'm suffering withdrawal with notoriety getting taken down and I'm cooking some video I made with someone showcasing some stupid shenanigans. So yeah is fine cruising so far (but so far)

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...

Aleena Imran - Blog #4 - Grade 8 :)

  This week was quite enlightening. Our first lesson was very interesting. We got to learn about different school uniforms and what people wear to school. We started learning by listing as much clothing people wear to school as possible as a group work. My team was Dharanika and Summer who listed loads of words, sadly some of them didn’t count.  Following that, we discussed the parts of a uniform. I found this class super engaging as I got to expand my vocabulary in terms of clothing.  To pass a few more minutes, we wrote down what we were wearing. This session was a bit tiring and fun at the same time. The second day was more relaxing and refreshing. As we basically were assigned 1-2 words from Unit 4 and searched in the dictionary for their meanings. Which was pretty amusing and calm. After that, we did a crossword. Sadly, I wasn’t able to get my words in time as someone else had found it first. From there on, we all were tested about the definitions of our words. I enj...
