Weathering The Storm — Leo's 3rd Term 2nd Blog

 With midterm exams around the corner, and two days of the calm before the storm, will Leo be able to overcome the storm? Or will he be swept up in the whirlwind of insanity?

The short answer: no.

The long answer: this entire blog!

Welcome to my third term second blog, where I will unveil the crazies that have been fumigating the airs of our classroom. To even call them "crazies" may be an understatement, as we literally talked about a doorbell for fish for 10 minutes straight in an advanced English classroom. I'm not complaining, just stating what happened! Speaking of, what about that? It was an interesting sight—a black screen.

I shouldn't really be making fun of it, sincerely. I did go online right after school, searched it up, and watched it for the entire day. The doorbell is fun to click on. Maybe I am one of those weird people who ends up spamming the button to attempt to get something out of it. I digress. 

As you can tell, I'm getting detrimentally cuckoo after taking the IGCSEs. Well, the mock exam, at least. So far, I would say I'm going to do really well, until I get to computer science, business and physics. May those three subjects have its mercy on me. I guess you know what strand I'm taking next year! Guess you can really say I've "mapped" out my next years ... heheheheheahahheaheahhhahahahahahahaahhahhaheahehaehaheahehaehaehaheaheahehaehaehaehaheaheahehaehaehaheaheahehaehae (Please don't let Chloe read this blog.)

About "mapping out", we have actually done some essays on maps, if I was ever there for it (mock exams) ... It's silly how burdening IGCSEs actually are, like they say students shouldn't be given too much on their backs lest they start crying and going mad, which I kinda am! ... I can't say I've learned everything, but I can proudly say, with my chest puffed up and my feet flat on the ground, I've learned something! Most are just a back-to-back diagram of something empty in the past turning into some grand casino in around five years time. I always muse whether or not the diagrams are real, or feasible for that matter. I mean, you don't just buy an island the size of a rugby field and convert it into a lofty resort in less than a few years; unless you're someone like Bill Gates, maybe. Other than that, the general formula for the essay is similar: paraphrase, overview, point one and two, and a bucket of tears in case you start shedding tears—men cry too!

Next week is going to be our midterms for AEP, a crossword consisting of the four units that we had done for vocabulary quizzes. Not being too difficult, I am going to condition myself into a Zen-like state this weekend to study everything. Until Fish Doorbell gives me a quick notification that there's a little sea critter at the door.

That's it for this week's blog! Thank you for catching up with the storm!

And So It Begins...- Chloe Lloveras- Blog 3 T3- AEP 10

  Maps have become my new enemy. I know this may sound dramatic, but I really just can't seem to like them. As an artist who loves anything related to colors and drawings, you'd think a map of all things would be right up my alley, but you'd definitely be wrong. The feeling of facing your adversary is like no other- this desperate thirst to defeat them, dying to be quenched. And so it begins... The day before the exam, we played "Squardle," but the joy it gave us upon completion was short-lived as it was replaced by the impending atmosphere of doom looming above us. I felt a pit in my stomach when I walked into the classroom the next morning. But I was prepared...or so I had thought. I only managed to score 87%, which in reality was actually a 77% because Miss Disa added 10 points to help bump up our grades. I barely passed really, but that doesn't matter now. When I had finished taking the exam, all I could think of was that it was finally over. I could relax...

AEP- Blog 3.3

 Hello hello hello there! We meet again, for one. last. blog.  Woah, it has been a ride hasn't it. A year sure does go by fast. It seriously felt not that long ago that I had written my first blog of the year. Definitely did not feel like 9 whole months. Reading said blog made realize now that I had nothing to worry about after all. That I have been proven wrong about not having fun in AEP. Sure, the work has gotten a lot tougher and was doubled to what we had last year. But hey, we're in G8 now and that's to be expected, AEP or not. And we still managed to play word games, some old, some new, and challenged ourselves in the best way possible. The seatworks we had DEFINITELY challenged me this year. But I wouldn't say all of them were so bad, only some. I really enjoyed the vocab quizzes. It really did help expand my vocabulary, and now whenever I read a book and encounter a word from one of the quizzes, I get all excited cause I know what it means now. I feel a bit sad...
