"Pen" - BLOG T2- JANEK - AEP10

After a whirlwind of excitement and laughter, it's only fitting to encapsulate the experiences in the virtual pages of this blog. Blogger, our faithful chronicler, has been witness to the tapestry of our past, each week unfurling a new chapter of memories while revisiting the old ones. Despite the time-consuming nature of this ritual, the fulfillment it brings is unmatched. As I sit down to weave the narrative of this week, a sense of anticipation lingers - a promise that this blog may just be more interesting than the rest. Curious? Dive into the text, and the reasons will unfold with each word.

Squaredle: The unlikely death of me

In the realm of our classroom, Squaredle has emerged as both ally and adversary, a captivating force that has swept through the student body. Its magnetic pull is undeniable, leaving us craving more, making it the undisputed game of choice. My fondness for Squaredle is genuine, but as the saying goes, every rose has its thorn. The coveted chance to control the board and manipulate the words fell into my hands this week. However, a series of unintentional mishaps led to an unexpected banishment by Miss. The shock of the decree reverberated through me - unjustly accused, I found solace in the fact that controlling the board was never my forte. Enter Naboni, the savior, ready to navigate the Squardle universe with finesse.

Drunk Picasso could do better!

Amidst the trials and tribulations of wordplay, drawing became a welcomed respite in our AEP class. An escape from the rigors of essay writing, it provided a canvas for exploration. Despite my questionable artistic skills, the activity served as a valuable lesson on the components of an essay. Our process diagram may have resembled a drunken Picasso creation, but the revelation during the showcase was exhilarating. Our messy rendition mirrored the original more than we dared to believe. The stark contrast between the girls' neatness and our chaotic masterpiece added a layer of humor to the experience, making it a cherished memory.

Vocab has not changed....or has it!

The return of vocabulary exercises, though seemingly routine, continues to be a cornerstone of our academic journey. Self-study has proven to be a potent tool for deeper comprehension, allowing us to expand our linguistic horizons. Amidst the varied words, "bereft" echoes through the classroom, a favorite of Leo's, while I aspire to incorporate "cursory" into my lexicon. The commitment to this practice is evident as many, including myself, witness tangible improvements in our vocabulary.

On the day of the vocabulary test, there was a noticeable shift in the usual routine. The words remained unchanged, as did the overall setup, yet a new approach was introduced. Rather than having predetermined words and utilizing a multiple-choice format on the website, we took control and steered the wheel ourselves, deciding which words each of us would define. Surprisingly, this adjustment proved to be a smooth process, ultimately making the experience more manageable.

Milk tastes worse on paper!

Transitioning to a different topic, our next essay required us to delve into the intricacies of the milk-making process. While not excessively challenging, it did demand a considerable amount of time to complete. Admittedly, my attention waned during the task, but had I remained focused, it likely would have only taken a few minutes. Hopefully, the resulting essay proves satisfactory, serving as valuable practice for the impending midterms, which are just around the corner.

In essence, this week was a tapestry of the usual and the extraordinary, a blend of simplicity and joy that characterizes every AEP class. The familiarity of routine was adorned with unexpected challenges, laughter, and shared triumphs. As we bid adieu to this week's escapades, the anticipation for what the future holds in our AEP class is palpable. Until the next blog, my fellow readers, may the weeks ahead unfold with more adventures and discoveries.

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.
