Struck Down Like Lightning — Leo's Fifth Second-Term Blog!

 Monday morning is when all the fun begins! We started with a wonderful game of Squard— I mean, Waffle! It is, of course, all of our favorite game to play on a wonderful morning! Nothing like a good word-making through combining different letters in a line! Hope that rings a bell.

Nonetheless, we did do the exercise a wee bit too fast, maybe a little too-too fast? Sans the screaming at Naboni, we sure did do a pretty superb performance on a regular website! It was a very simple game.

Welcoming a new student to the class (once again), Victoria joins the party! And then she was bombarded by another essay ... nothing like a good first-hour essay. It was another essay about concrete production which we have seen a good three or four times, so not only was I well-acquainted with it, but I was spectacularly writing as fast as a lightning bolt striking an umbrella, which supposedly happens—never seen it happen in real life (and hoping it does not happen to me).

It was a challenge because we could not refer back to our previous writing, and therefore I lost that poetic touch that Ms. Disa loved my essays for :'( (Rest in peace, "subtly wavered"). In retrospect, much of it was based on experimenting what felt more ... "professional" in a way. I guess having that little hint of magnifiqué-ness really does spice up a meant-to-be mundane essay, does it not?

The Tuesday after, we finally started with a game of Squardle! Woohoo! With a game of 26 words, we breezed through it, with the longest word being "superbly" (which is not as long as the past games we had played). However, we had the vocabulary quiz right after— No, we didn't!

We had a game of Scrabble ... Woohoo! Being infamously known for never winning a game of Scrabble, I ... of course did not win again. Third place, sadly, as always. I swear every game of Scrabble is rigged against me in a way, I just have to figure out who is changing up the rules!

Short week, but fun regardless. It was the Science Congress anyway, so there would be a lot of stress after all the aforementioned. Let's just hope it doesn't get anywhere near worse this week...

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...
