the cost of giving up — Leowyn Blog 3.3

 Today was the assignment of the final, retrospective blog we would do to encapsulate everything we've seen and learnt in AEP for Grade 11. It's a miracle I'm still smiling across the hallways, filled with days where I'm really just like "what is happening?" This year has really went by so fast and so soon, so here I am, in the final stretch of the year, seeking solace in the summer break (which I won't be getting due to college applications and my AS Levels.)

Here's the rundown of what we've done in each term, paired with the titles of my blogs on those terms:

Term One: eternal sunshine, ***Flawless, The Joker, Repeat

Term 1 was one of the most grueling terms for me in AEP, mainly because of the unit topics. Learning business terms and political terms even though I explicitly said, to everyone in my life, I would never touch a business topic ever again ... but there I was, running around with 'gerrymandering' in my head 24/7. It was good practice, for sure, and it definitely is a good thing I know terms that I'll be seeing on the news, in work, or in general life.

Term Two: Blood, Sweat & Tears, Fool's Paradise

Term 2 was also pretty stressful, considering how I had STEM Congress bashing me with assignments throughout the term. Thankfully, we were able to do just politics and medicine that term, which greatly increased my chances in not dying of burnout by memorizing business terms, politics, and the like, all while attempting to do my presentations during the STEM Congress. It's alright, though, because I enjoyed AEP with the activities we got to do!

Term Three: Late to the Party, Abracadabra, the cost of giving up

Term 3, which is ongoing right now, has been no less of a hassle. With the AS Levels coming by, I've had to switch between studying and learning at home and at school respectively. Despite that, AEP has been quite a breath of relief, as we did a topic I finally do like—environment and problems affecting them! Yay! While the term passes and the year ends, AEP has been fun because of the games and the new words we're learning. They're familiar, yet some have been interestingly novel to my meager little brain. Can't wait to use it in my next biology exam!

Overall, the year went by quite fast, and I can say I have enjoyed my time in AEP. We've learnt more than enough words to survive in the vastness of adult life, and I've been incorporating the vocabulary into everyday language quite smoothly. Here's to next year!

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...
