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!

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.
