Blog 3.3 - The end? Already?


It's kind of crazy how this is my last grade 8 blog. 

Well, now I'm freed from procrastinating on these things! Woo! (heheheheh)

May 6th

Miss allotted us 15 minutes to solve a 68 (I think?) word squaredle. Surprisingly, we killed it. Although we weren't able to finish it within the time, Miss let gave us a bit more time due to how close we were. Good start to the week.

Next up, vocab quiz. Miss gave us several exercises to revise before the actual quiz. Somehow, I got my first word wrong, levity. That made me feel like leaping off a building. Fortunately Miss allowed me to revive myself by answering 2 more words, which I got correct. I am still immensely disappointed in myself for getting that wrong. Seriously? Levity? Are you stupid?

May 7th

Today was a game day! We played the game that we did a few weeks ago, but with a twist: It was individual, and the people who got the longest words would snag the point. The letters were selected by us. Miss would ask us for a vowel or a consonant, and whatever we said would be the letter. There were times where the consonants and vowels were very unbalanced (or maybe I'm just bad). I did tragically worse than I did before, getting a pitiable 1 point. Yeah this week was definitely not my week. Told you, I was never good at unscrambling-anagram type of things. 

Wow.. that's it? 

At the beginning of this school year I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy AEP8. In fact, in the first few weeks I was debating embracing my filipino blood. Alas, I stayed, and I am so very pleased with my decision. Although this year was really different compared to last year, Filiz left, the class expanded, I still didn't enjoy it any less. Entering each class is like breath of fresh air compared to the stress and pressure of the major academics. AEP is always bustling with life, be it in silly banter, challenging vocab quizzes, or competitive games. I am so grateful for having a subject like AEP, with a witty and clever teacher like Miss Disa. 

I'm going to think of this school year very dearly. I'm sure we all will.

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...
