SURVIVINGG😀- Naboni(AEP10)_Blog: 2.2

Greetings and welcome back to another blog! How are you doing today? I can imagine you might be feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything going on. Personally, I'm already feeling bogged down by the sheer number of syllabus and assignments piling up. Next week is looking especially daunting, with quizzes scheduled almost every day. And don't even get me started on midterms - I'm not ready at all to face those yet. But, if I'm being honest, the one thing that's keeping me going right now is the thought of the upcoming Christmas break! I miss being able to sleep🥲.

Well, let's talk about the AEP classes now. The previous two weeks have been really productive I would say.

On the Monday of the first week, we started the class with the usual warm-up game Squardle. With 3 people consecutively handing the magic pen that day(one of them being me), we only ended up finding about 50/65 words. And just like that, we started and ended the class with Squardle. On that day, we also got our paper back on the previous essay writing of a processed diagram. I was quite disappointed with the score as I expected it to be a bit higher. Yet, it was just the first time and it does improve along the way!!

The next day, we again started the class with Squardle. This time there were very few words to solve which we did quite quickly. After that, we moved to our new traditional way of doing the vocab. You already know how it works. We each get some words and then find out their meaning to answer the online test on the vocab website. But this time, instead of solving the definitions we put the correct word u the sentences. I think I find this way more as it means you just not only know the definitions but learn how to use them in sentences. 

After that, in the second-period girls and boys were divided into two groups for group work for the processed diagram. But there was a twist in it! Instead of writing the essay, we heard Miss dictate an essay and both groups had to draw a diagram of the figure that involves the process of making cement using concrete. 

We, the girls rushed through the diagram but thankfully, we had some great artists with us. The final diagram came out pretty similar to the original. The boys one was pretty impressive.

On the second week, on Tuesday, after several warmup games, we had our vocab quiz. Thankfully, I remembered the meaning of the word I got. Guess the last minutes of studies actually work!;) After that, we moved to essay writing. First, miss wanted to give us a diagram of the life cycle of a frog. But, she quickly changed her mind and we had to do another one of the processes of how raw milk is produced as a final product to the customer. I felt like my writing was way better than the first one. 

That's it for now! Let's all look forward to the upcoming Christmas break as a much-needed opportunity to recharge and relax. And of course as well the exciting year end party and secret santa!!

Thanks for reading and take care!
