Chronicles of an Unchanged Student - Blog 2.2, Mysha Macabuat


 

Hello 2025! Welcome to a new year of AEP, one with assortments of exciting word games, perplexing worksheets, and new journeys to overcome! My wary fingers hit the keyboard once more to create another blog. They are quite tired following the agony of the upcoming STEM congress. Hello to new experiences and fresh opportunities! I am starting to lose hope.

Oh to be an unknowing innocent seventh grader like I was 3 years ago. Time you are slippery spiteful creature. I wish you perish.  

Jan 8 - Loss at Third Sight
What better way to welcome the new year than with a round of Hurdle? Answer: literally anything else. Three rounds in, and we were already flopping. A tragedy? Maybe. A surprise? Absolutely not. We’ve been here before. Many times.

With our confidence in shambles, we turned to pie charts—because apparently, humiliation wasn’t enough for one day. At first, it was just shapes and numbers mocking me, but then - somehow - it started making sense. A small victory, I suppose.

Jan 15 - It's Average
A normal Wordle game? Fun. Easy. Infact, too easy. 32 of them all at once? Psychological warfare.

The board practically laughed in our faces as we were forced to solve word after word after word, my half-conscious brain desperately trying to keep up. However, as a class, we perservered, slaughtering each game one by one. It evolved into a predictable pattern, and we secured each of the 32, with no remaining spaces.

Then, just as I thought my suffering was over, the pie charts returned. This time, we weren’t just staring at them—we had to explain them. It was tolerable. Maybe even interesting? (Don’t tell anyone I said that.) The way data and trends started forming patterns actually made sense in a weirdly satisfying way.

Jan 22 - Humbled with a Side of Pie (Charts)
We began with a Wordle win, as I said previously we effortlessly defeated in 3 - Then reality struck.

There’s nothing quite like being forced to confront your own mistakes. I braced myself for impact as we combed through past work, picking apart errors and making corrections. Not the most thrilling experience, but surprisingly helpful. I realized that making a sentence work isn’t about stuffing it with every detail—it’s about structuring it so that the most important part stands out.

We wrapped up with yet another round of pie charts, this time analyzing data on energy sources across different countries. Once I started paying attention, patterns emerged, and the numbers actually made sense. Yay.

And just like that, bye bye January! I will not miss you. I will scowl at the mention of your name.

Real proud of the "Humbled with a Side of Pie (Charts)". Good job Mysha

    Excellent. I'm so happy that pie charts are starting to make sense, as a teacher I find it very difficult to tell..

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...
