change. - Janek - AEP10 - BLOG #6


The past week unfolded in an unexpected manner, catching many of us in class off guard. It was a departure from the routine, leaving us stunned, akin to the sensation of savoring a warm soup and then stepping out into the cold. This week brought about significant changes, the kind that demanded a momentary pause to absorb it all. Excitement surged within me, a sensation long absent. What were these changes, you might ask?

SQUAREDLE: THE NEW HURDLE

In every aspect, SQUARDLE emerged as the top contender, surpassing its predecessor, Hurdle. While Hurdle had enjoyed class favoritism for a considerable period, Squaredle now claimed the throne. Another wordle-based game, Squaredle proved more engaging than not only Hurdle but also other wordle games. Unlike its mundane counterparts, Squaredle delivered a refreshing gameplay experience, from which I derived genuine pleasure. Hurdle, reminiscent of childhood games, involved arranging letters to form specific words, a task ranging from four to nine letters. The introduction of Squaredle has alleviated the pressure of entering the AEP room, making mornings more enjoyable. It's a game that has injected vitality into my day, signaling that it's time to explore new avenues of enjoyment. Moving on and embracing change, it appears, can indeed be for the better.

DOGO NEWS MAKES A COMEBACK

While routine sessions can be pleasing, the monotony can become tiresome. Miss, adept at adapting to this, by changing various activities to keep things fresh, with DOGO news being a consistent favorite. In moments of extra time or when there's nothing else to do, DOGO becomes our go-to source for intriguing news. It never fails to captivate my attention with fascinating tales, such as female octopuses hurling rocks in aggression or the recent news of individuals using super shoes to break marathon records. Even in these seemingly trivial stories, DOGO manages to divert my mind from the stresses of remaining subjects and pending assignments, providing a comforting escape.

VOCAB IT IS I GUESS

Vocabulary practice stands out as one of the less stressful aspects of AEP. The recent change to adding practice sessions prove effective in accelerating our learning, and the advanced announcement of upcoming sessions reassures us about the time available for preparation. When Miss announces a vocabulary test, my heart maintains its steady rhythm, my eyes remain calm, and my overall demeanor stays collected. It's a relief to find myself less anxious about things beyond my control. A test involving just 20 words seems like a manageable challenge, and I express my gratitude to Miss for maintaining this approach.

ESSAYS ARE GETTING WORSE

The visual overload of bars, with their ups and downs, varied colors, and shading patterns, has strained my eyes. Despite the initial struggle, I pressed on, determined to decipher the prompt and produce the best possible output. The challenge peaked with a bar chart on the board, displaying disorderly bars without discernible patterns. Nevertheless, with a concerted effort, I managed to make sense of it. Giving up was never an option, and while the output may not have been perfect, completing it by the end of the period brought a sense of accomplishment.

In conclusion, another productive week unfolded, with tasks executed efficiently and laughter serving as our reward. The overall experience in AEP was delightful, and I look forward to what future terms have in store. Until next time, goodbye!

IM THE MAP! - Janek - Blog 2 - T3 - AEP 10

Although maps have always held a peculiar charm for me, a fascination sparked during childhood by watching episodes of Dora the Explorer and her indispensable map, my relationship with them has evolved. Previously, a map was a guide to travelling to places, a tool for discovering new café locations on trips, or simply a way to marvel at rather weird corners of the globe. However, my recent academic assignments have altered my perception of maps, making them less of an object of intrigue and more a source of stress. Essays have made maps worse! Before, engaging with a map never entailed writing an essay. If my father discussed a historical map, I’d happily delve into a verbal explanation rather than penning an analysis. But now, as a student in an Advanced English Program, essays have become a standard expectation. Tackling these assignments has been a significant challenge, turning my once enjoyable encounters with maps into a draining task. It’s clear now that the essays, not my exhau...

Miss Disa is back! - AEP 10- BLOG#4- JANEK

Now that the exams have finally concluded and the stress has lifted, thanks to the break and the high AEP spirit, it seems inevitable that a blog post is in order! The past weeks have been some of the most unusual and unpredictable I've ever experienced in AEP. With a few new faces, Miss Disa's absence, and sudden activities, let's delve into the latest updates on AEP. A Sudden Disappearance? On January 7, just a day before AEP's classes resumed, I felt a sense of fear. Fear that I might have forgotten something, a feeling I often experience. Despite this, I had to enter the class with confidence. However, my expectations took an unexpected turn. Miss Disa was nowhere to be seen. She had apparently left for the UK, and has not yet arrived in the Philippines. This had left many of us  confused, yet simultaneously relieved. No work, no stress! All we had to do was sit in the Filipino class doing nothing. Initially, that's what we thought, until a notification popped u...

Nurin’s AEP Adventure (Term 3 #1)

Hey blog!!! Under some ciscumstances, I have relapsed into my old habits of procrascination and I’m really not proud of that :,) But that’s okay, I’m still in progress and of course I’m gonna have ups and downs. Embracing any chance to change myself for the better, always. Anyways, IT’S TERM 3 ALREADY?!?!? My my, time flies like a speed jet to space. I’m like a leap away from graduating and that thought scares me, in an exciting way. I cannot even imagine yet what the future holds for me and I’m eager to find out. For now, nothing much is going on except for preparations of the musical production on March 9th. So I’ve just been really busy with dance trainings and rehearsals here and there. Expectations are really high for the Grade 12 so we have to give it our best and perform to our fullest potential.  I have been putting off works in the last moments of previous term. I got my Cambridge exam result and it brought me back down to my dark pit, I never want to get out of there like...
