Anis' AEP Diaries 2.3 - Something Different

 Season 2: Episode 2 🎀 

Friday, 1st December 2023 

The more and more the “highschool finish line” is nearing, the smaller I feel myself shrinking into this box labeled childhood that you neatly keep in your attic. AEP this term hasn’t only been a learning curve guided by a set syllabus, but is now an opportunity for us to discover ourselves. 

Recently, we were guided into building a coherent and quality university application where we assess the common mistakes that can easily be made. Grammar and syntax should be flawless and use of language needs to show a satisfactory level. Every single year, the number of students in the applicant pool increases, which makes it important for my application to stand out. Considering that we are attending university in a few months, these skills that we’ve acquired will come in handy soon. 

Other than that, Ms. Disa also prepped us with some new skills to write emails. Although it sounds simple, many of us tend to miss out multiple things which can negatively affect the presentation of our email. Let alone a formal communication through a digital platform, there are myriads of conventions that are important to include to effectively express your thoughts and get your message across. An example is the tone of the email – this could affect the decision of the receiver to take your message seriously or not. 

A favorite of mine was the activity in which we listed down 5 objects that we could fit into a box. This activity allowed me to somehow be in touch with two worlds – the present and the past – although many of us almost had the waterworks coming in the way. Along with that, I chose three words that resonated with me in my current standing which was wit, growth and something. I forgot, yikes. Anyways, it was really cool to see how each of us could explain why these objects and words have a significant meaning towards our life which really helps us in finding ourselves! 

Last week’s class had a little touch of fun where Ms. Disa allowed us to play this small game with the idea of “who knows who best”. She gave us a certain category in which we would have to write our answer on a piece of paper and anonymously hand it out to her. After that, all of the answers were written on the smartboard, followed by our guesses of the owner of the answer towards each one. It was really fun considering that some of us are literally a crystal clear closet. 

Hopefully, my fingers and brain will still be friends by the time that the next blog are due! Jumpa lagi.

AEP BLOG 3.1 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

           The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind of maps and musicals, and it's quite fun.          March 5, 2025 - I Went on A Vacation...Somewhere      We began with a unique warmup this time.  By turns, we all had to say a new place on the map.  Each person has to retrace the steps of all the previous and so on.  I did not do well, but I didn't jot down notes of everyone's locations on my notebook anyway.  It was a memory game.  Afterwards, Miss taught us how one can remember things by remembering a place they visit often - by associating the different keywords with different objects or areas.     After that, we moved on to worksheets.  These worksheets involved maps and places and tenses.  For some reason, I forgot the difference between the past tenses.  Thankfully, though, I remembered what passive tense was.  Simple English fundamentals like types of...

Blog 3.1 - moving too fast? - huda g11

  From juggling multiple homework and exams to participating in the musical, parliament, varsity and maintaining a social life, the days seem to blur together in a relentless stream of busyness. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose track of time, which left me constantly feeling like having to keep on picking myself up again to start the next new thing. Despite the chaotic nature of this school year, it's important to take a moment to pause and give ourselves a small break. I think that is where AEP comes in line. With the moderate pace of learning new vocabulary, which I have found to be very useful considering I've passed by many familiar vocabs as I go on with my studies ehehehe, AEP gives me a sense of pause to my hustling life with its conversation-filled lessons incorporated with productive discussions on the words as well as the inclusion of what I would see it as “old-style” learning. The idea of bringing back the usual norm before covid of ‘pen and pape...

i stopped counting the blogs at dis point

       Ah boy here we go again Another week, another blog about random stuff. Holy hell everything moves so fast that I feel like I could take a nap and suddenly miss 21 different events. it's a little odd when you get pulled out of your usual schedule and are forced to do a practice exam but like 'they' say: "practice makes perfect." also been rewatching RVB, kinda sad cuz Rooster Teeth decided in a Hail Mary attempt to earn some of that sweet moolah that they should make a large majority of their shows paywalled on yt and you have to use the inconsistent official Rooster Teeth website that is absolutely plagued with stunky add that no one wants. yeah more ads than YOUTUBE ,  AND THEY'RE ALL UNSKIBBABLE BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY ARE AND YOU GET 4 OF THEM EVERY EPISODE (some at the start and then some midroll ads). I know it is to push people to join their site and subscribe to FIRST but Oh ho hoh man... that is a level above despicable.
