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

First blog of the year! This blog includes the padlet of many, many AEP meetings.  Last padlet of the year (December 10, 2024). On that day, we didn't do much, just played games. We first played Scrabble (which Selim won) and then played Waffle. Had fun that day. First padlet of the year (January 7, 2025). The break went by so quickly, it didn't feel like 2 weeks at all. I wish it was longer. Anyways, at the start of the class, Miss Disa asked us about the lessons she taught us and if we learned/remembered anything from it. After that, we played Scrabble once more. Somehow Selim beat us again. Selim is insanely lucky in Scrabble for some reason. He had nearly double everyone's score. He had around 120 something points if I remember correctly. We then played Contexto after we finished playing Scrabble. I enjoyed AEP and had a lot of fun. Missed lying on my bed though. Second padlet (January 14, 2025). The class began with us playing Unlimited Wordle. It looked and seemed lik...

Busra D (AEP 3.1)

ITS ALREADY 3ND TRIMESTER THAT IS CRAZY. Time goes by so fast like flash I’m excited and nervous at the same time for this 3rd trimester!!  This time I will do my blog different , I’ll just explain what we did most of the time in AEP. Before we get to the main part of our topic of game we always play word puzzles to get our mind moving, it helps us not sleep in AEP heh. Sometimes we also play scrabble which is really fun. I lost my streak sadly :( Jia is really good I’m usually 2nd place. One of my core memorize is dogo news miss makes it so fun to read and has interesting topics ( just like the banana taped on the wall) it will never get out of my mind. We also do listening tasks which is alright I guess. Well anyways this 2nd trimester went by so fast hope to see you next time byeee!!!.

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...
