Garbage Collection??? - Aire M.

Hello! What a great day it is, to be here in AEP. Last year, I was told that I would be moving back to Filipino, but that changed, and now I'm back! I'm glad to be here, even if the essays I have to write are endless. I'm quite at home here, in Miss Disa's cramped room, using a language I like. Completely content and at home.

But what is this home like? On the 5th and 6th period of a Wednesday, take a peek through the small looking glass and here's what you will find inside...

NOVEMBER 6, 2024

Today was a little strange. Instead of diving head-first into a warm-up, we talked about term 1's accomplishments and how we would be moving forward. Moving on from the overview writing, we decided to lean more onto vocabulary instead. After a little chat, we moved to Scrabble for some fun. It got chaotic, but it was nosier than usual. I still had a bit of fun, especially when I was able to work and have fun with our new classmate Mika! We got last place, though.

Today was pretty chill overall. Miss made our new classmate, Mika, go hold the pen as we completed Squaredle, but I think she got a little overwhelmed with all of us shouting at her. We ended up completing it at the cost of her sanity. Seatwork followed closely after, which was pretty fun, since I completed it quickly. Some of my classmates admired me for my speed and how all these english things came naturally to me. I tried to help them with their own work, and it was nice knowing I was able to have a positive contribution in another's life. But I am not perfect; I needed Mysha's assistance for some of the questions, hehe. Maybe one day, when I am fully able to stand on my own two feet, that's when I will be proud of myself. For now, I'll slowly try to get there, one step at a time.

Today we started the class with some good ol' Squaredle. Miss chose me to hold the pen, and while I usually do enjoy this task, I did not enjoy Hyeono bossing me around to try words... and getting it right. He got a lot of words, and we completed the little warm-up quicker than I thought. I suppose he is improving.

After the warm-up, we continued the seatwork from last time. There was a really weird graph on garbage collection that confused us all. Miss told us she's never seen a graph like that in her life. My head exploded a bit while having a go at an actual essay, which wasn't too bad? I was just so sleepy and that made me lazy to do it, even if I knew all the words and how to write it in my head. Maybe that's a skill I need to get better at. Putting my thoughts onto paper. It certainly would help me communicate with others more efficiently.

Well, that's all you'd see if you watched our class cramp up Miss Disa's little classroom for the past 3 weeks. Bye now. I'm signing out.

"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...

  December 11, 2024 - Hurdle Defeats us Starting off a game never knowing it will defeat us is truly the most humbling experience in AEP. And in this case, it was Hurdle. Everyone thinks it’s over, but it always comes back to us. It’s truly a battle, a battle between choosing which letters were correct and the placement of it. It was quite humbling to see at the end how blind we were during the game. We did a worksheet that included a graph and filled in the blanks. Other than that, we all recited one detail about a different graph and also read example answers. It wasn’t too difficult or anything like that since I adapted to doing these types of activities. January 8, 2025 - Defeated once again Once again, Hurdle returns to us. But it was quite different, it was somewhat similar to wordle, but you do it multiple times in a row until you lose. To our surprise, we lost after three games. It was quite devastating but oh well. In our worksheets, it included how to describ...
