"Starting out AEP..." Khalid's Blog

Starting out AEP was something quite new to me, somewhat like a shock. Since I joined the school late, I missed a bit of lessons from the subject. Seeing words like "bumfuzzled" or "lame duck" really got me so confused at first and was rethinking if I'm even learning English or a whole different language. I then got to know that we were learning different kinds words relating in both the political and business fields. 

I was a little worried as I had a hard time trying to understand these words at first and what they meant so I was not confident at all if we had seat-works or different activities relating to our lesson. Me being a not so knowledgeable person about any political or business topics made it even more confusing for me. Good thing Ms. Disa's classes are really chill and gives us a warmup with different word games like Wordle or Waffle to let our minds run. When the finals were announced I decided to study the best I can with the words which was worth it as I didn't have a hard time in the exam. I then realized, hardship is only temporary if you do something about it and you'll eventually pass the struggle that you had. 

I now am enjoying AEP as I get to learn new words of the English language which adds more knowledge into my mind. I'm also quite excited for this term as we're are currently learning about the different words of the medical field which are very interesting while also familiar as I also take and learn biology. Let's us all strive in this 2nd term and thank you very much.

"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...
