Blood, Sweat and Tears — Leo's Blog 2.1

Blog 11.2.1 — the start of a new term. To recap, last year, we did an outstanding two units of politics and business, which do not go great when you put them in a whole term hand-in-hand. From words I'd probably never be able to use, like "junk bonds" or "banana republics", to words that seem interesting. The different types of government regimes, for example, are a topic that seems to interest me quite a bit. Considering that the world today reeks with politics, we might as well learn them early.

For the business aspect, I guess you could say that it's useful—if you're in ABM, that is. Being a STEM student, I'm not entirely sure when I'm going to be saying "corporate ladder" in my life, but I will learn it just for the sake of feeding my curiosity. It's good to learn, in case you end up stranded on an island and the only language that the islanders speak is politics and business. Makes sense why "banana" is a collocation of "republic".

Moving on from the first term, we're introduced to a newer, a better topic for me as a STEM student. Medicine. While we stopped learning the horrible truth about the world, we started learning the truth about death! Hooray! Medicine as a whole is a scary topic for me to grasp because you are talking about people and their conditions that may or may not be related to suffering. Sickening, isn't it?

What I'm really hoping to learn for this year (if my classmates allow it, that is) is to learn about environmental issues. It's the one topic that I may be affiliated in the future with, as I might take up veterinary medicine as a career path. However, I know the others are going to choose crime. Not too keen about it, but I'll be willing to learn for the sake of ... feeding my curiosity.

Following the beginning of term two, we also did some fun activities like Waffle, Deluxe Waffle, Wordle and Scrabble. Two of which I failed miserably in (Scrabble and Wordle. Duh.) I know this term is going to be one stressful one, especially being a STEM student. Hopefully it goes well. See you next time!

Blog 3.3 Almira

 I haven’t written a blog for quite a long time, and I also haven’t attended aep class for 3 weeks because I went to vacation in Boracay and there was the Musicals and the most recent one was the Holy week, to be honest I dont really remember what we did for aep for the past few weeks I was in class and as long as I can remember we did scrabble and did our seatwork. I dont know what to write about since I dont have anything to talk about the class since I was absent for quite a long time, anyways for the past few weeks I was  absent from aep class I did some cool activities and visited two different islands.  Roughly two weeks ago, I went to Boracay for vacation since it was Eid so we decided to go there for a week I had so much fun there and I really enjoyed it because I went snorkelling and did some other water sports activities. Now the second time I was absent for aep was because of the musicals, it was techinacally a holiday but I think I kinda enjoyed it unfortunate...

the cost of giving up — Leowyn Blog 3.3

 Today was the assignment of the final, retrospective blog we would do to encapsulate everything we've seen and learnt in AEP for Grade 11. It's a miracle I'm still smiling across the hallways, filled with days where I'm really just like "what is happening?" This year has really went by so fast and so soon, so here I am, in the final stretch of the year, seeking solace in the summer break (which I won't be getting due to college applications and my AS Levels.) Here's the rundown of what we've done in each term, paired with the titles of my blogs on those terms: Term One: eternal sunshine, ***Flawless, The Joker, Repeat Term 1 was one of the most grueling terms for me in AEP, mainly because of the unit topics. Learning business terms and political terms even though I explicitly said, to everyone in my life, I would never touch a business topic ever again ... but there I was, running around with 'gerrymandering' in my head 24/7. It was good p...

3.2

Helloooo!!! How is everyone?? Yup, I am late again, like always — and this time, I really am not sure what to write, as I am constantly getting demolished every day with Cambridge. If you were wondering where I was all this time… well, I was just doing past papers!! OKAY — so this blog was due weeks ago, and the reason I missed it (it’s not procrastination this time!!) is that I was absent during the last two weeks of classes that semester. For one of them, we had our stats mock for Cambridge, which I wonderfully failed, and for the next absence… I don't even remember what happened to me. Maybe I was just dead doing all the past papers. Sorry, Miss Disa — I began procrastinating midway!! Well, I’m going to finish this now. This semester, we started doing lessons on environmental words. It was a pretty easy chapter and fun lessons! Too bad I missed most of them. Anyway, on the first day, Miss Disa gave us some random cut-out words that go together. Me, Meral, and Sashmeen were in ...
