AEP Blog #2.4 “Half a term, half a term”

 Welcome to 2024 folks~ I really wanted to make this blog have your typical blog introduction that you see on this page but lets make it a little more personal this time. 


This interesting academic chapter of my life will surely come with twists, Im sure my classmates are wondering about the same thing of themselves.Since 1st semester has finished, and the half of 2nd semester has as well — leaves us with another half. But whats interesting about this half is how much faster time will fly here in comparison to the earlier ones. It feels like as if it is the end of the year, and its not helping when we have several responsibilities packed up — its much more easier to lose yourself in the concept of time. 


NOW! On to the good stuff — an introduction of AEP 2024.


For the games we play in class, I always find the most fun whike playing contexto. I think I remember explaining how the game works in a previous blog, so I wont this time. However, that meeting we played contexto after such a long time made me realise you have to be consistent even if its just for the warmups you do in class. Its normal afterall to feel a little woozy after you see your own classmates woozy too. Domino effect! 


Most of the vocabulary we are learning right now are very interesting; something that is hard to understand but is so much fun to actually know.We are working on vocabularies related to domestic violence and such terminologies work different with how the british and americans say it, as well as a reason behind it. Its so interesting to listen to the history behind these words because knowing the root origins of anything makes you understand it so much more. 


Its a little funny because Ive been sharing them to my own family as fun facts. (Hahaha) 


A quick one for now, have an awesome day ahead dear reader! 


P.S. Praying for a good year for all of us💖

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...
