Welcome back, everyone! First off, I apologize for being so late. Second term has been absolutely insane with school workloads and AS-level preparation. Maybe this is what they meant when they said the last two years of high school are just a long, slow burn-out. I think I just failed my chemistry quiz—because seriously, what even were those questions? Being in STEM really does feel like burning in hell sometimes.
But even amidst all these breakdowns, AEP has somehow been my one source of relaxation. Lately, AEP classes have been pretty chill, and I honestly love it that way. It’s the only class where I’m not just staring at the board, questioning my entire existence.
Speaking of AEP, Miss Disa recently gave us a very important life lesson: never order anything over 5,000 pesos online. Now, this advice didn’t come out of nowhere—it was, of course, backed by one of her classic life anecdotes. And while it was funny to us, for her, not so much.
Right on the first day of the second semester (and yes, I was a little late), Miss Disa stormed into the classroom, already mid-rant about something she ordered online but never got a refund for. Of course, most of us were clueless about what was happening, so after Khalid pointed out that a lot of us had just arrived, Miss had to start the story all over again.
Basically, she had bought a refundable plane ticket online but didn’t end up using it. Naturally, she requested a refund, and the company agreed—but days passed, and still, no money. Now, this is clearly a serious issue (because who wouldn’t be mad about lost money?), but Miss Disa has this incredible ability to turn all her frustrations into hilarious stories—and we were all here for it.
And that was that. After the story, we moved on to play Scrabble, as chill as a first day should be. As usual, I teamed up with Leo, and once again, we made a solid duo. Not to brag, but we totally won the round! Another +5 merits from Miss Disa (though, honestly, I have no idea if those ever actually get added to CoolSIS). And that wrapped up the class—it was a shortened period, too, since we had clubs that day.
The next day, we got a new worksheet on crime and punishment—a pretty interesting topic. I already knew some of the words, but there were a few new ones I came across, like hooliganism and affray. The first exercise was matching words to their meanings, and the second involved identifying the person for each verb (like stalker for stalking).
Oh, and an update on Miss Disa’s refund—she finally got it back! Well… sort of. Instead of getting her money returned, she now has credit that she can use for any flight within the next five years. At least it’s something!
Other than all these, we also discovered a new warm up game called Duotridorgle, were you have to guess 32 wordles in 37 guesses. Yes, quite a challenge indeed! But, it is surely a fun way to recharge your brain.
That’s it for AEP this term! I gotta sign out now to study for the upcoming finals. Hopefully I can pass, let’s pray guys.
See ya’ next term, fellas! Goodbyeee.
