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!
