Scrabble or Scramble?- Chloe Lloveras- Blog 4 T2- AEP 10


This week's AEP was definitely out of the ordinary even though I'd previously said that things were finally getting back to normal in my last blog. Ironic, right?

Starting on Monday, AEP class started quickly with "Waffle." Naboni had the pen (AKA the magic wand) and swiftly accomplished it with the help of class, which included Victoria! A welcome addition to the class who got the chance to jump in head-first with essay writing, which was yet again another version of the cement and concrete essay. Third time's the charm I guess! 

Writing the essay was definitely a lot faster than my previous versions. It's probably because my brain is so used to all of the information already that I can even picture it now as I type. Haha!

The next day started off as what I had thought was a catastrophe! I was late coming into class because of the elementary's field trip that day. Since I ride the school service van, I was one of the last ones to be picked up (along with the other people living nearby) because the elementary school is so close by. Panic settled inside my stomach and I felt like I was scrambling. 

I waited for over an hour for the bus to finally arrive and, when it did, it was already around 8:45 a.m. And after picking up several other people, we, at last, started heading towards the school's direction. I managed to arrive sometime around 9:00 a.m., which I was thankful for because we had 2 periods of AEP anyway. 

Out of breath, I raced up to the 4th floor and knocked before entering the classroom. To my surprise, I hadn't missed too much because the class was just about to start playing "Scrabble!" There were four teams: Naboni and Leo; Victoria and Shasmeen; Meral and Kirani; and Janek and Haziq. 

I joined Janek and Haziq this time. After taking about 5 turns, it was time to wrap things up. The board this time was definitely tight this time because no one wanted to expand the board. In fact, most of us kept blocking each other. Haha! It was fun overall to come up with words to fit inside each other and my favorite definitely had to be "decay." 

In the end, this week was surely a whirlwind of emotions. I honestly thought we were done with all of the surprises, but I guess you can never quite tell with AEP. Overall, the week was an interesting one. Winning the "Scrabble" match was a much appreciated bonus as well. Hehe! Till next time.

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...
