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.

And So It Begins...- Chloe Lloveras- Blog 3 T3- AEP 10

  Maps have become my new enemy. I know this may sound dramatic, but I really just can't seem to like them. As an artist who loves anything related to colors and drawings, you'd think a map of all things would be right up my alley, but you'd definitely be wrong. The feeling of facing your adversary is like no other- this desperate thirst to defeat them, dying to be quenched. And so it begins... The day before the exam, we played "Squardle," but the joy it gave us upon completion was short-lived as it was replaced by the impending atmosphere of doom looming above us. I felt a pit in my stomach when I walked into the classroom the next morning. But I was prepared...or so I had thought. I only managed to score 87%, which in reality was actually a 77% because Miss Disa added 10 points to help bump up our grades. I barely passed really, but that doesn't matter now. When I had finished taking the exam, all I could think of was that it was finally over. I could relax...

AEP- Blog 3.3

 Hello hello hello there! We meet again, for one. last. blog.  Woah, it has been a ride hasn't it. A year sure does go by fast. It seriously felt not that long ago that I had written my first blog of the year. Definitely did not feel like 9 whole months. Reading said blog made realize now that I had nothing to worry about after all. That I have been proven wrong about not having fun in AEP. Sure, the work has gotten a lot tougher and was doubled to what we had last year. But hey, we're in G8 now and that's to be expected, AEP or not. And we still managed to play word games, some old, some new, and challenged ourselves in the best way possible. The seatworks we had DEFINITELY challenged me this year. But I wouldn't say all of them were so bad, only some. I really enjoyed the vocab quizzes. It really did help expand my vocabulary, and now whenever I read a book and encounter a word from one of the quizzes, I get all excited cause I know what it means now. I feel a bit sad...
