AEP REFLECTION #3 “Chilly nights and confusing health”

 Welcome back to another AEP blog post! Although, I have to say, I’m not so sure this one will be as great as the last. Sometimes I despise the confusion I have on whether or not I am getting enough rest or not. What exactly is rest? That itself should be saved for another reflection. 

It's quite a cold evening right now—it's been a wee-bit cooler these past few days—so I think it’s a perfect time to dive into what we did in AEP class recently.


This time, our focus was on  wellness, specifically physical wellness, but also touching on mental and social wellness. We explored various aspects of what it means to be mentally, physically, and socially healthy. Our discussion covered several parts related to these topics, and we each had to reflect on whether we aligned with these values and beliefs.


Personally, I realized I need to work more on my overall health. After our talk, I felt more positive during the day. But as more things came up.. schoolwork and just life in general.. I found myself losing that focus. So, dear readers, this is a reminder of how important it is to take care of your health.


Towards the end of the class, we completed a self-assessment. It wasn’t quite a checklist but more of a ranking system from one to five on various questions to give us a final score on how healthy we are. If I were to take the test again right now, I think I’d still score okay, but definitely lower than last time. I think that’s mainly because of my mental health, which I need to work on ASAP!!! but I'm getting there!


Speaking of which, after writing this, I’m going to treat myself to a nice cup of oolong tea, which is something I haven’t done in a while. So I’m off to do that right now!


Thank you so much for reading this blog. I really enjoyed writing it, so really hope the same thing applies to  you reading it. See you in the next one!

    Thankyou so much Ayesha for your candid thoughts. Life is a struggle, a circus where we are the clown doing that balancing act on a high wire on a unicycle with spinning plates. When we are young we think that life will make more sense when we can claim our autonomy and when we do we spend our time running around trying to pay for that freedom. Then we think that all we need is to fall in love, get a hobby, travel...we spend our life chasing happiness but only finding it in places and people where we weren't looking for it.
    I go to the gym twice a week and I train hard but sometimes I nearly burst into tears on the mat because I'm so frustrated at how I see my performance, at my failings. My teacher says 'relax...your face is so stressed'. I know that to be a good fighter is to fight without anger but when I try I can't find it so I have to make myself angry and I use all my strength in 5 minutes hitting too hard, trying too hard, knowing it's wrong...What I'm saying is life is not just one thing...its a balance of each thing.I understand how my training is related to everything. Its a process.But we need to respect the process.We need to have discipline and most important we need to have balance.You cannot force an icycle through a tiny hole no matter how hard you push.But if you wait patiently for the water to melt....can you see what I'm saying...breath :)

Aleena Imran - BLOG #3.2 - Grade 9

  I honestly cannot believe we are already halfway through the third term, it feels like we started it yesterday. This will be one of the last blogs we’ll be writing for the school year, which seems so crazy. As much as I’m not fond of writing blogs, it’s still a reminder that we shared our moments together in AEP.   March 5, 2025 -  An Off-Board Warmup? This warmup was unlike our other ones. We usually have our warmups on the board, such as Wordle, Hurdle or waffle. But this time, all we had on the board was a map. Everyone had to state one sentence about the two maps shown on the screen, but there was a plot twist, you had to remember what the previous person stated and add on to it. As more people stated their sentences, it only got difficult, it meant you had to remember more sentences, but in the correct order. I wasn’t able to remember the sentences in order, but I still enjoyed watching other students struggling to remember the sentences.  Later on, we g...

Abracadabra — Leo Blog 3.2

 This term, we've begun with a list of terms related to environment, ranging from the devastating crises happening around the globe to the lovely descriptions of catastrophes caused by man. While it's a very fun and a not-so content-heavy topic, it reminds us that we can't say ' abracadabra ' to felled trees and watch as they rise from the ashes of our ancestors. Well, it's a shame, really. Would've loved to see some of the forests and wildlife that existed before the world began pumping steam and breathing coal. The first thing we did when we got to the third term was pairing words to form collocations. There were a variety of them, 42 collocations to be exact, and we had to figure them out. Most were easy, words we knew were things like 'climate change' or 'heat wave', but some were new. 'Paddy farming', 'septic tanks' and other words were quite interesting. Unfortunately, I wasn't there for the AEP period the week after...

End and the start of term!

Helloooo everyone! Welcome with another blast! See, your favorite blogger is not late this time!!! And that is because it's just the start of another term, and the workload from school is quite light. Can you believe it's the last term already?? I am still in disbelief—only 2/3 of grade 11 is left, and then our final year of high school... I don't even want to think about it! We have learned a lot of things in AEP last term, including discovering new games and learning a lot more of Miss Disa's fun anecdotes. AEP this year has taught me a lot of technical terms as we have been getting lessons on very niche and specific topics. You know how a word appears a lot when you newly learn it? Now, due to my expansion of vocabulary, I started seeing the words I am learning everywhere, and that brings a bit of peace in me, as I think, well, I am learning something. We had worksheets on Healthcare, Crime and Punishment, Business, and Politics. My favorite among them was the health...
