Good, wonderful afternoon! It is the 19th hour of the day, and I had just woken up from a deep slumber! Yes, it is indeed late to be writing a blog, but the due date is tomorrow, so I have some time. I would normally do it a day before the day before the due date (also known as two days before the due date, but it sounds fancier this way), but this week and last week has been way too hectic for me to do any of the work early, let alone a day before. Even just yesterday, I had to study for 2 quizzes, a song for music, and multiple homework that lethargy is taking over my system, but I digress.
We shall move on to the greatest part of this blog: the blog itself! Having Padlet as my assistant, again, because I cannot keep on remembering everything with the amount of homework and projects we're getting, I will be talking about the last two weeks of AEP before finals! Really, maybe Padlet should be paid for working as my personal assistant.
Moving on, we started the second-to-last week with a happy game of Squardle! There were 58 remaining words out of the 73, since the grade nines (which is only one person) had done 15 before us. Seeing everyone want to participate by screaming out words over my own voice was fun, especially because I could not manage to get any single word out to the person on the board. I fear the class gets rowdier and rowdier as we continue playing such a baleful game.
Regardless, we completed the game with flying colors, and moved onto DOGONews, which we had not done for a long time. The last time we did it, I think, was last year, but I probably have forgotten that we've done it this year, only because of the amount of homework that is being thrown at me like I'm a fly flying away from a man with a flyswatter. The article that we read was about a runner, Tigist Assefa, who won a world record for a marathon simply by using sports shoes that costed more than my entire allowance totaled together for the last 5 years. $500 is uproarious, and for you to throw it away immediately?! I wish I was that rich.
But anyway, we continued the week on Tuesday, and that time, we did another riotous game of Squardle, with only 22 words. We had gotten each one of them, but I fear it was because most of them ended with "yard". Despite that, it was fun!
Then, we studied our vocabulary quiz. Since our schedule was a bit off, Ms. Disa decided help by doing vocabulary in class, instead of at home. It allowed us to only have one homework a day, but still having the vocabulary quizzes in place. It's a good strategy!
Afterwards, we did a huge bar graph showing way too many bars that I was just utterly confused. I was able to finish it, but I probably went into too much detail for me to understand what was happening in the graph anyway. It was about the pursuits of Chester teenagers during the years 2002 to 2007, and there were 6 bars for each activity. I'm still continuing to learn how to write these, but woah, was it perplexing.
Fast forward to today, after a week of pure homework and quizzes and projects and whatever snatched our freedom away from us, we began the day with another game of Squardle, and this time, it was at a 5-star difficulty with 72 words. It took us 20 minutes, and we were still a few words off from the last. I was trying my best to contribute, but alas, I was upstaged by the cacophony of voices that silenced me!
After, we had an unordered essay, written by our wonderful friend, IELTS Liz! We had to simply rearrange the essay, which was the same essay that we wrote about last week, and it was way shorter than what I had written in my essay.
This upcoming week is going to get even more stressful, so I'm just waiting for a safe demise at this point. I'm alive by the skin of my teeth!
