Blog 2.3 - Adi's inferno - 7th circle

 Happy New Years! Our new year has been nothing short of hectic. January is just about to end and so am I getting closer to ending it all (I'm joking)

Besides that, how has life been for us? The Stem Congress is straight up a mess and I'm so glad it's behind us (for now). We'll still have to continue with working on our other experiments as well as making a final paper and whatnot. Besides that, life is a little free (except for the barrage of quizzes getting thrusted upon us).

It's still crazy to me how finals is still not for a while! They might be edging us with the looming feeling of doom of hell slowly creeping upon our figure in the form of shadows hanging over our bedside lamp. But who am I to say?

The first two weeks of AEP was quite uneventful. With Miss Disa being gone, we had some free time and  we also played some word games to occupy ourselves in the mean time. 

When she returned, we started with more new vocabularies! The topic this time is homelessness and poverty. It involves all the gritty and grimy details of the other side of the world where people are less than fortunate. I like how it features a lot of real social issues that us as a society often put aside. I like learning about more serious topics like this so I can say I'm having quite a blast.

Other than that, I'm also someone who writes a lot of my own stories. Fiction, if you will. A lot of the topics in those stories features the very many words we are learning! Miss was surprised to see that I was familiar with the words we discussed the first week she was back. I don't really know what to say? I guess to me these sorts of topics and words feel common and somewhat ordinary. But hey, the more you know!

And it's not like I know everything already. I've been made to learn some more words that I'm also unfamiliar with. So yeah! I don't in fact know "everything".

I also quite like the seatworks we have nowadays. Compared to last year, this is MUCH preferred. It's not as complex as well.

Anyways, that's all for now! Thank you for reading!

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...
