Repeat — Leo's Blog 1.4

Blog 11.1.4. Politics, politics, and more politics! Last week, we had done a terrible job in a 3-star Squardle that had only 27 words. We achieved only 12 of those points, failing to get the rest in an attempt to wake up for the morning. With the upcoming camping, why wouldn't we feel pumped up and excited for the events of what's to come? Because of the double quiz during that week's Thursday, biology and chemistry! Killing all students with two stones!

It's wasn't easy for us to get going with the next few words that were present in the next part of the chapter. 20 new words purely about politics, and even if you did know some, how was it used in a political sense? For example, "gerrymandering" is not a word that everyone knows, but maybe those who study American politics do. It's a strange word, considering how the USA has electoral states and thus allows gerrymandering to actually happen, but I dislike getting too in-depth on how strange politics actually is.

The week after, we began the day with a quick game of Wordle, which was a very ironic one for that matter. Knowing the word would be a repeating letter, we had guessed any variation of _O__Y but wholly said that the word "MOMMY" is simply not a word in the English dictionary. Guess what happened after we typed the last word (DODGY) ... the word appeared right above the entire game, screaming at us "MOMMY!"

After that atrocious game, we went and continued the same unit and collected the answer as well as its reasons to be, then did the next part, which was about identifying parts or types of government regimes. It was interesting when I searched them up, since I myself don't get into politics so often. It just so happens that the entire rest of the world is extremely political and love talking a lot about it when I don't live there, or I'm not affiliated with the country at all. Alas, politics is madness!

After camping, I was definitely tired. Thankfully we don't have to go through essays again like in Grade 10. If we did, I'd probably be crying after school. We even have a math quiz tomorrow, so I'm grateful we're just doing words. Woohoo!

"Before The Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi || Book Synopsis

In a hidden café tucked away in all the bustle of Tokyo, disconsolate patrons are given the rare chance to travel back in time. But, there’s a catch: they must return to the present before the coffee in front of them cools, or risk losing themselves eternally in the past.  " Before The Coffee Gets Cold ", a novel by author Toshikazu Kawaguchi, tells of four heartwarming, contemplative tales of a magical cafe's patrons that all interweave in the most little, yet enchanting ways. The first, a forlorn woman who seeks to mend a strained relationship before it becomes irrevocably broken, while the second hopes to acquire an explanation from a departed companion. A third character wishes to revist and undo a moment of regret, and the final traveler longs for one final brush with someone they had lost. The immutable and all-consuming nature of time unveils itself as each of the four's journeys progress, gently guiding them to acceptance.  The book uses charming prose juxtapo...

AEP Reflection 5 “Deep and meaningful”

Welcome back you all to another AEP blog! Today, Ill try my best to express things through words! Probably! Today was crazy.. currently in my car and I think I have to word things well here.. So, lets get started!  Today in AEP class, the atmosphere was calm, with the usual quietness filling the room. It felt like a regular session as we were handed a single sheet of paper for the activity just like the last meeting. This simplicity was becoming a pattern~and I found comfort in it.  As we settled in, the familiar voice from Ms. Disa’s phone once again guided us through the task. This time, we were presented with a checklist that asked us to select words we believed best described who we are. On the back of the sheet, the task became more challenging, as we had to choose the words that we felt defined us “perfectly”. It made me think harder about what truly represents me. When it came time for me to reflect, I chose family, art, and leadership. It was difficult to narrow down t...
