Blog 4 - OCT 1 - Mysha M

I just realized I never submitted my blog sdklgjasd (WHOOPSIE DAISY) I wrote this on Oct 1 i promise Welcome back people! It's been a while since our last blog, and tons of new experiences have since accumulated. If I'm correct, we last left off on August 21. 41 days ago. Woah. A lot has happened since then: our first midterms, Buwan ng Wika, camping, yada, yada. Aside from all that, AEP still holds its spot as the highlight of most weeks, and in the time since our last blog, much more has happened in our cosy little class. Miss had introduced a new game called Squaredle! It's essentially wordle + word search, and it has to be one of my favourites so far. Our class devoured Squaredle it was the only game in which we all worked on, and with 11 people, that's pretty impressive.

The main issue I have with Squaredle though, is that it takes a crazy long time. A decently sized game could take up to one period, and even smaller ones use up roughly 20 minutes. I guess it's better than doing seatwork though. Actually, talking about seatwork, the stuff Miss assigned this past month has been a lot of fun. When we were on the topic of schools, she made us brainstorm all articles of clothing that would be allowed in the building (alas, not on Fridays for some reason). I argued my butt off. I swear, Miss was being hard on me and my 76 examples. Even with my many, many rejections, I enjoyed it. We also tried another way to expand our vocabulary. We tried out how the Grade 7 did their quizzes, which was a lot easier than ours. We were given 1-2 words that we had to learn the meaning of, then Miss would spin the wheel and whoever's word was chosen had to define it.

I'm loving AEP so far, I genuinely didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did last year, with all the additional new students, severe lack of scrabble, and Filiz leaving, but honestly, after two months of it, AEP is just as hype as ever. I'm so looking forward to the rest of the year!

Sigh, I really do need to learn my native language though. Sometimes I forget I'm a full Filipina.
