Stories, Scrabble, and Panic- Meral- AEP 11- Blog 2.2

Incoming AEP update... 


Returning from the two-week holidays, and stepping into the AEP classroom, I found myself entering in the middle of a story being told by Miss Disa. Trying to piece together the randomized details, I gathered that Miss was talking about the money she had "lost" for a plane ticket she'd already paid for- essentially, the money the airline had yet to refund her.

It's always nice to hear Miss talk about her adventures, whether it's about a Lazada package arriving at her door while she wasn't home or her runs in the mountains. These little anecdotes remind me that teachers don't live at school- something I wholeheartedly believed when I was younger.

Anyway, the rest of the day proceeded calmly. We circled around the Scrabble table and played a round of who-had-their-breakfast-that-day enough to coin letters into words. I'm unsure which group had won, but considering it wasn't my group, it doesn't count anyway :D. 

The following week, we commenced class with a game of Waffle, quickly completed it, and then leveled up to Deluxe Waffle. New year, a new unit for AEP! Miss Disa announced we'd be learning words about Crime and Punishment. Happy to hear this, I was ecstatic to learn the exact definitions of words I often come across while watching crime documentaries. 

The lexis generally looked familiar, but there were some interesting ones I hadn't heard of before, such as "hooliganism" and "embezzlement". We took turns matching the definitions to the words, which was quite fun. We ended class with Miss discussing the correct matches, and I took a mental note to memorize them in case we had a quiz on this unit the next week.

Alas, my mental note betrayed me. Wednesday morning, I knew I was forgetting something but couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. Finally, it hit me! The possible quiz was today! Thus, I memorized the words on the bus ride to school. The amount of times I've done this surely exceeds the times I haven't- I think I might secretly enjoy the rush.

We started class with a new warm-up game called "Duotrigordle"- a word game featuring 32 boards simultaneously instead of just one. It wasn't as difficult as it seemed, but then again as I was trying to figure out the words, we had already moved on to the next one. It turned out there wasn't a quiz after all, but Miss handed out the Unit 4 worksheets so we could fill out all we could remember. And here I must leave you with a cliffhanger.

That's all for this blog. As always, thank you for reading this and I'm hoping to see you in the next one!

Signing off,
Meral

"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...
