Anis' AEP Diaries 3.1 - Missed The Train

Season 3 : Episode 1 🎀 

Thursday, February 15th 2024 

Tick, tock, tick, tock... 

At this time around, we have reached the last and final season of Anis' AEP Diaries as she makes her way to *drumrolls* graduation! What a long, long way it has been. I would like to give a pat on the back to all students who have made it through the last term because it goes without saying we were all in a pit! On our plates, we had stem congress, musical (the president of making everyone's schedule busy), exams, volleyball games and so much more in between. 

In our last classes, AEP acted as a "brake" for us lot who is full speeding all term long. As a result of that, classes have been more lenient as we step away from the academic syllabus and engulfed ourselves in the world of origami and speeches! It was filled with laughters, and officially became super memorable to see everyone loosen up once in a while. 

Who would've thought that I would be re-enacting Susan B. Anthony's speech on women's right to vote on a regular Wednesday? I fully understand now how reading a speech and delivering a speech can be two different things. Hats off to all of the impersonators because Ayse and I genuinely had to cover our faces with paper so we could make it through the class (I never saw such passion). 

A little fun fact: Haron, one of our classmates, peeked through a small gap of the door in the empty room I used to rehearse and practice my speech. Well, see. First of all, my back was turned against the door. Second of all, I had my headphones on maximum volume. So, tell me how I had to explain myself. Until this day, I had yet to wonder if he still looks at me the same or I am a complete madwoman. 

Y'all never know what fun is like until you're having a frog race competition with Tokyo Drift song in the background. 

We also did some hands-on activity on making origami which was FROGS!!!! I usually give up after the first two folds, so this was kind of a big thing for me ok. I made two frogs in which one was pretty disabled by the looks of its feet. I never knew where I went wrong. However, the smaller one did make such effort to help me win the race round. We used our marked exam papers as the origami paper...with Ms. Disa's approval. 

Not to forget, the lesson that made me had my butt on the edge of my seat was the making of these knots. Apparently it could be made as a weapon. Not that it will happen, but good to know we're prepped for whatever is coming next. Should've had this knot even earlier during the highs of the musical so I can smack the table, or my head, in times of stress. Joke. 

Anyway, I am done yapping. Thank you.

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...
