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!

IM THE MAP! - Janek - Blog 2 - T3 - AEP 10

Although maps have always held a peculiar charm for me, a fascination sparked during childhood by watching episodes of Dora the Explorer and her indispensable map, my relationship with them has evolved. Previously, a map was a guide to travelling to places, a tool for discovering new café locations on trips, or simply a way to marvel at rather weird corners of the globe. However, my recent academic assignments have altered my perception of maps, making them less of an object of intrigue and more a source of stress. Essays have made maps worse! Before, engaging with a map never entailed writing an essay. If my father discussed a historical map, I’d happily delve into a verbal explanation rather than penning an analysis. But now, as a student in an Advanced English Program, essays have become a standard expectation. Tackling these assignments has been a significant challenge, turning my once enjoyable encounters with maps into a draining task. It’s clear now that the essays, not my exhau...

Miss Disa is back! - AEP 10- BLOG#4- JANEK

Now that the exams have finally concluded and the stress has lifted, thanks to the break and the high AEP spirit, it seems inevitable that a blog post is in order! The past weeks have been some of the most unusual and unpredictable I've ever experienced in AEP. With a few new faces, Miss Disa's absence, and sudden activities, let's delve into the latest updates on AEP. A Sudden Disappearance? On January 7, just a day before AEP's classes resumed, I felt a sense of fear. Fear that I might have forgotten something, a feeling I often experience. Despite this, I had to enter the class with confidence. However, my expectations took an unexpected turn. Miss Disa was nowhere to be seen. She had apparently left for the UK, and has not yet arrived in the Philippines. This had left many of us  confused, yet simultaneously relieved. No work, no stress! All we had to do was sit in the Filipino class doing nothing. Initially, that's what we thought, until a notification popped u...

Nurin’s AEP Adventure (Term 3 #1)

Hey blog!!! Under some ciscumstances, I have relapsed into my old habits of procrascination and I’m really not proud of that :,) But that’s okay, I’m still in progress and of course I’m gonna have ups and downs. Embracing any chance to change myself for the better, always. Anyways, IT’S TERM 3 ALREADY?!?!? My my, time flies like a speed jet to space. I’m like a leap away from graduating and that thought scares me, in an exciting way. I cannot even imagine yet what the future holds for me and I’m eager to find out. For now, nothing much is going on except for preparations of the musical production on March 9th. So I’ve just been really busy with dance trainings and rehearsals here and there. Expectations are really high for the Grade 12 so we have to give it our best and perform to our fullest potential.  I have been putting off works in the last moments of previous term. I got my Cambridge exam result and it brought me back down to my dark pit, I never want to get out of there like...
