Start of Another Term:DD

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to yet another blog! Can you believe it’s already the second term? It still feels like school just started just a few days ago. Anyway, I’m pretty happy right now because it’s the start of another term, and the workload isn’t much at the moment—but I don’t know how long I’ll be able to say that!

As for AEP, everything is going pretty smoothly. On the first day, we basically did nothing but play Scrabble. We started with our usual warm-up, after which Miss discussed the proper way to submit our homework. Then, we headed to the Scrabble table and split into four groups: me and Leo, Sashmeen and Meral, Osamah and Esad, and Sayum and Khalid. It was a tight battle! Sashmeen and Meral ended up winning, while Leo and I came in second place. Not bad, I guess, considering the letter choices we had. Overall, it was a really fun way to kick off the new term.

Miss Disa also posted a form on Google Classroom, asking us what we wanted to learn this semester. I chose Health and Medicine because it’s the topic I’m most interested in, and I felt like it would be the easiest out of all the options.

The next day, Miss Disa announced the votes. Health and Medicine won with the highest number of votes—just two. Thanks to Leo’s vote, it became the topic we’re going to learn about, and I was really happy.

Miss Disa gave us the worksheet, and it was so much easier than the lessons we had before. I mean, come on, we deserved it after dealing with all the weird, complicated words from the Politics and Business chapter! We finished the first two pages of the worksheet, and the exercises were pretty fun. For the first exercise, we had to guess a word that matched three given sentences. We worked on it individually first, and thanks to Sir Martin’s biology lessons, I got all the answers correct. The second exercise was all about abbreviations, where we had to write their full forms. I already knew ER, PM, and ENT surgeon, but now I know so many other healthcare-related abbreviations.

On the next page, there was a table where we had to match terms with their respective connotations. Below that, we had definitions, and we had to write the corresponding terms. This part was a bit trickier than the rest, so I left a few blanks. Miss Disa later discussed all the answers with us. Next week, we’ll have a baby quiz on it, so fingers crossed for that!

As I mentioned, classes are pretty easy on us right now. I really enjoyed learning all the medical terms in AEP, and I hope to get everything right on the quiz. Also, you’ll be hearing from me more often now, as Miss Disa switched us back to the blogging system. So, until the next blog—bye and take care!

"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...

Aleena Imran - Grade 9 - Blog 2.2

  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...
