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 :)

Blog #3

First blog of the year! This blog includes the padlet of many, many AEP meetings.  Last padlet of the year (December 10, 2024). On that day, we didn't do much, just played games. We first played Scrabble (which Selim won) and then played Waffle. Had fun that day. First padlet of the year (January 7, 2025). The break went by so quickly, it didn't feel like 2 weeks at all. I wish it was longer. Anyways, at the start of the class, Miss Disa asked us about the lessons she taught us and if we learned/remembered anything from it. After that, we played Scrabble once more. Somehow Selim beat us again. Selim is insanely lucky in Scrabble for some reason. He had nearly double everyone's score. He had around 120 something points if I remember correctly. We then played Contexto after we finished playing Scrabble. I enjoyed AEP and had a lot of fun. Missed lying on my bed though. Second padlet (January 14, 2025). The class began with us playing Unlimited Wordle. It looked and seemed lik...

Busra D (AEP 3.1)

ITS ALREADY 3ND TRIMESTER THAT IS CRAZY. Time goes by so fast like flash I’m excited and nervous at the same time for this 3rd trimester!!  This time I will do my blog different , I’ll just explain what we did most of the time in AEP. Before we get to the main part of our topic of game we always play word puzzles to get our mind moving, it helps us not sleep in AEP heh. Sometimes we also play scrabble which is really fun. I lost my streak sadly :( Jia is really good I’m usually 2nd place. One of my core memorize is dogo news miss makes it so fun to read and has interesting topics ( just like the banana taped on the wall) it will never get out of my mind. We also do listening tasks which is alright I guess. Well anyways this 2nd trimester went by so fast hope to see you next time byeee!!!.

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...
