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!

Peanuts!! - Blog 2.1 - Aire M.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the world of Blogger! I am your writer, Aire Marcellana, presenting to you a blog of quality writing, containing a girl's simple hopes and dreams. Hopes and dreams crushed knowing like 5 people reads these. I do still find fun in writing these, however, especially since I love to write. Our first few lessons in the 2nd term proved to be quite fun and entertaining to write about. I got a bit stressed on our first lesson, but all in all, a fantastic start to the new term. Reflecting on last term, although I did put effort into AEP, I didn't prioritize it as much as I should've, even if it is a minor subject. I am grateful I got a good grade, yet I have high hopes for the terms to come. 11/06/23 We started off our term 2 with some good old Squaredle . Grades 7, 9, and 10 have already paved the way to finishing the Squaredle by having already completed the easy words. With 63 out of 79 words settled, our class went on a journey to get all of th...

The "Queen of Vocab" - Blog 1.5 - Aire M.

Hello... to pretty much no one. Probably no one except Miss Disa reads these blogs, no matter how much effort I put into them. I really like writing these blogs, as they are my way of venting all my feelings and thoughts out into the void. With that being said, here's the blog :) Yeah, sorry for the short intro today. I'm feeling sleepy 😪   10/02/23 Today in AEP, we used the whole 5th period trying to complete Squaredle , and in the last 10 minutes, Miss told us we'd get 7 merits each if we finished. It didn't seem like a long way off, as we just had 14 words left. We didn't get the 7 merits, but we only had... 7 words left? Still pretty good. In the second period, Miss Disa explained how exams can trick you. Well, to be more specific, questions that, if you didn't read the instructions, you could get wrong. And those questions were very easy. All you had to do was read the instructions. But somehow, even the smartest people can get tricked. (Honestly, Summer,...

Short. Sweet. Simple! - Chloe Lloveras- Blog 1 T1- AEP10

      Back at it again! The new school year has begun and AEP along with it. But this year, it comes with a twist: a much more jam-packed schedule and more essay-writing. Did I mention that the vocabulary quizzes are back and that blogs will be more frequent now? No? Well, you're in for a treat!      We hadn't even met for the first session yet, but we were already juggling assessments like a syllabus quizlet, a "what's your English level?" test, and even a knowledge quiz about IELTS writing task one, something I haven't encountered before. When our first meeting did commence, it wasn't until a week later due to the heavy rainfall and strong winds so classes were canceled. As you might've guess, we were already behind and AEP hadn't even begun yet!  Before starting, Miss Disa established the basics for the new school year: 1. Every meeting will begin with a word game with a five-minute time limit. If we don't finish in time, we'll still mov...
