Blog 2.1 - A New Start [Izzah] Gr12


A New Start

Term 2 has started and looked back term 1 was HELL, well actually it wasn’t that bad but it was that bad. I had millions of assignments due every day all day, and as the list grew I grew more lazy and really unmotivated, to the point I didn’t have the energy to eat or do anything. I was in a really bad slump. However, near the end of the term, I finally got the energy to work it back up and plan what I was to do next.  I got up and decided that if I could not get anything done at home, I would have to do it at school, and that’s what I did, nonstop work and work for two weeks to catch up on my overdue work, and just as the timer runs out, I’ve reached the finish line. School may seem overwhelming at most times, you feel like the pile of work u have to do may never end. However, being consistent and hardworking will certainly pay off. All you need is the first step, the first step to reach the end.



The First Class of Term 2

The first AEP class was nice, but I was a bit hesitant to go to class due to my performance in last term's AEP. However I had a lot of fun, we began our class with quardel which was significantly the most challenging quardle I’ve done. Complicated but fun, we as a class worked together and had fun trying to figure out the words. The next activity was unexpected, as for our first topic, “The Psychology of Fashion” we were given articles and studies on each, I received a transcript that discusses the impact of fashion positive and negative. In my reading, Carolyn Mair the author of "The Psychology of Fashion" discusses the issues of excessive buying of clothes and other wearable items that lead to issues such as rising landfills. Issues such as human rights and mental health also come up. In the discussion of human rights, fast fashion is known to be the main cause of these issues, and fast shops such as Shein are called out as the main contributor to these horrors. A quote "clothes are our second skin", "our identity" I do believe that the clothes we wear represent who we are as a character. I am excited to explore more on this topic and perhaps have a conversation with my classmates on these issues.

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...

Blog 3.1 - moving too fast? - huda g11

  From juggling multiple homework and exams to participating in the musical, parliament, varsity and maintaining a social life, the days seem to blur together in a relentless stream of busyness. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose track of time, which left me constantly feeling like having to keep on picking myself up again to start the next new thing. Despite the chaotic nature of this school year, it's important to take a moment to pause and give ourselves a small break. I think that is where AEP comes in line. With the moderate pace of learning new vocabulary, which I have found to be very useful considering I've passed by many familiar vocabs as I go on with my studies ehehehe, AEP gives me a sense of pause to my hustling life with its conversation-filled lessons incorporated with productive discussions on the words as well as the inclusion of what I would see it as “old-style” learning. The idea of bringing back the usual norm before covid of ‘pen and pape...

i stopped counting the blogs at dis point

       Ah boy here we go again Another week, another blog about random stuff. Holy hell everything moves so fast that I feel like I could take a nap and suddenly miss 21 different events. it's a little odd when you get pulled out of your usual schedule and are forced to do a practice exam but like 'they' say: "practice makes perfect." also been rewatching RVB, kinda sad cuz Rooster Teeth decided in a Hail Mary attempt to earn some of that sweet moolah that they should make a large majority of their shows paywalled on yt and you have to use the inconsistent official Rooster Teeth website that is absolutely plagued with stunky add that no one wants. yeah more ads than YOUTUBE ,  AND THEY'RE ALL UNSKIBBABLE BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY ARE AND YOU GET 4 OF THEM EVERY EPISODE (some at the start and then some midroll ads). I know it is to push people to join their site and subscribe to FIRST but Oh ho hoh man... that is a level above despicable.
