Late to the Party — Leo Blog 3.1

The last stretch of year 11, welcome to the ultimate term where we determine who survives the next maths exam, and who survives the next chemistry exam, or death by the guillotine! Isn't it so exciting?

Last term was like finding a needle in a haystack, but not for AEP! AEP last year was a blast, learning about ... (eugh) ... crime and medical terms! While I will be using words from the medical area, crime just isn't my go-to choice of lexis when it comes to being knowledgeable in words—I'm taking medical degrees in the future, so knowing crime would be of help if I end up joining an affray ... which I hope I don't.

Either way, it is good to know your fair share of 'gerrymandering' and 'terminal illnesses' and everything, as learning is key to developing a strong mind. We've learnt a lot over the two terms prior to today, which have truly shaped my mind in the world of business, politics, crime ... and the only one that will be of use to me, medicine!

Learning the words have been really fun, even if I do say that it's kind of strange how I'm doing politics and business. We do fun activities and easy-to-do lessons which really help with gulping down knowledge after half a week of chemistry and biology and maths ... Words are just really fun to learn, really.

The exam was pretty good. I got perfect, yippee! Though, I did stress about it a ton (until I saw that Ms. Disa posted it on the Google Classroom) but it turned out to be a good recall for me.

Here's to the new term!

"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...
