AEP BLOG #3.3d - Summer Rose S. Valdez

 


        Well, well, well.  Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Summer Valdez's very last AEP blog for this school year!  Haha sorry, enough of that now.


        I am absolutely dumbfounded that, finally, I am writing an AEP blog for the last time this school year.  So much has happened, yet it all somehow flashed past our eyes.  Why is that?  Can memories last forever?


        So much has happened since the start of the school year, and I have learnt so much.  To think that it's finally come to an end feels peculiar and while exciting, a bit bittersweet.

May 6 - "I Love This Class"

    We begin with one of the last Squaredle games we'll play this school year.  This time though, we had a 15 minute time limit.  Our class failed to completely solve it before then, but we managed to finish it anyways shortly after.


    Studying last minute isn't easy.  But when there's an AEP vocabulary quiz you forgot about, you have no option but to try to the best of your abilities to understand each and every word.  Thankfully, we had several exercises before the actual quiz itself to give us time to learn and understand the new words.


    Something I vividly remember during the lessons of that day was the energy radiating in the classroom.  Perhaps I usually take this for granted, but I've never realized how fun it is to be in an AEP class.  The casual banter, silly remarks from Miss Disa, and everyone in the class really make a memorable experience.  I recall Aleena saying, "I love this class" multiple times throughout the AEP classes which made me realize how every precious moment will merely become a memory, and appreciating every second is crucial.



May 7 - "Vowel, Please!"

    It was a very fun AEP class.  We played a game where you must find the longest word possible from a random group of letters we would select by saying, "vowel please," or "consonant please".  It was an exciting way to get merits and exercise our vocabulary-stuffed brains (or so we think).  To my surprise, I did pretty decently and ended up with 5 points or merits.  And to my surprise, a bunch of my other classmates did really well too!  Seeing myself and my classmates improve in utilizing the English language throughout the year is very fascinating.




    I certainly did not expect time to fly by this fast.  They always warn you about it, but you still never end up realizing it.  Perhaps enjoying the moment as is is better than worrying about the future.  Grade 8 AEP was an absolute blast of enjoyment and education.  I will miss this, but thankfully, our amazing teacher makes us write blogs about our lessons so even if the memories fly by, I can reminisce on little bits and enjoy them like how I once did.  

And as I type the my last blog of the year, I relive those precious little moments recorded in a humble AEP notebook.


"I love this class!"


So do I, Aleena.  So do I.




💓 See you next year!

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...
