Reflection 3 -- SEM 2 -- Adi Syachrin

 Finished the last and final presentation!! And I think it went pretty well.

To be fair, I think I cheated a little bit when I used my own timer to do my presentation (I am really bad at gauging the time) but it all worked out pretty well.

Backpacking off of my last presentation, as well as my last reflection, I mentioned that I'll be doing another game format in order to further engage the audience. Where last time I only showed pictures on screen that were rather hard to see, I did as promised and brought a real flower to this presentation!

I was quite in a hurry as I had plans to actually just buy flowers from my nearest grocery store but I didn't have the time, so I ended up stealing one from Santolan Plaza on my way home on Tuesday. Oops...

Eh, whatever. It was a singular Peace Lily. No one would miss it, right? I chose a rarer flower on purpose to make the game more engaging. Roses and daisies are a dime a dozen and everyone can easily guess their meanings and names. However, there are over a thousand varieties of lilies and each one has its own specific name. This is such a niche topic but that is personally so interesting to me.

As a flower nerd, I was asked by a few people if I had been able to name the flower I stole and no surprise, it's a yes. I can recognize and name a good variety of flowers, though my knowledge is still quite limited. The Peace Lily just happened to be the flower that caught my eye when I plucked it from the bushes.

Anyways, enough about the flowers. How was the presentation?

It went pretty well, all things considered. I only went a few seconds over time and I practiced a few times the night before. I had better preparation this time, no doubt about that. I'm glad that I remembered my script without needing to look at my notes too much and that I managed to explain quite a bit of the topic without info-dumping like I did last time. I don't think I got perfect of course but it was clearly an improvement.

And now, off to my project!

I posted my AEP project already especially considering how easy it was and all. I haven't written haikus in a good few years but the rules and structure are pretty simple regardless. I finished it rather quickly and I'll post it up in Miss Disa's board once school starts. I couldn't get much of an inspiration so I chose a winter theme for simplicity.

Anyways, that's all.

Thank you for reading!

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...

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 ...

End and the start of term!

Helloooo everyone! Welcome with another blast! See, your favorite blogger is not late this time!!! And that is because it's just the start of another term, and the workload from school is quite light. Can you believe it's the last term already?? I am still in disbelief—only 2/3 of grade 11 is left, and then our final year of high school... I don't even want to think about it! We have learned a lot of things in AEP last term, including discovering new games and learning a lot more of Miss Disa's fun anecdotes. AEP this year has taught me a lot of technical terms as we have been getting lessons on very niche and specific topics. You know how a word appears a lot when you newly learn it? Now, due to my expansion of vocabulary, I started seeing the words I am learning everywhere, and that brings a bit of peace in me, as I think, well, I am learning something. We had worksheets on Healthcare, Crime and Punishment, Business, and Politics. My favorite among them was the health...
