Miss Disas Class @24

  As my weary fingers teeter atop the array of symbols called a "keyboard", I write this word concoction with hesitance and dread. Red nailpolish peeling, face mask overwhelming my face and getting onto my shirt. As I pull these bizarre memories out of my chemistry-burdened brain, I think: Wow this is really it. My last AEP blog before the fateful transfer to filipino. Cool. March 19 – To the Worse Me There comes a time when you must confront your past self. Unfortunately, my time was today. For our midterm, we had to write letters to our younger selves. This concept was actually something I had thought about before, so I knew exactly what to tell that stupid, annoying, embarrassing, loud, irritating, insufferable - I should probably stop. I chose to talk to 11 year old me. The time period before the pandemic ended and I could start making actual mistakes. I have made a collection of intricate plunders that only I would've been able to pull off since 2021. I gave her a he...

  March 5 - Memory? Never Heard of Her I swear we just blinked and suddenly we’re teetering on the edge of the school year’s finale. One of the last blogs I’ll write for AEP—bittersweet. I may pretend to loathe blog-writing, but I’ll admit: these are the breadcrumbs we’re leaving behind, a little trail of chaos and near-misses. Anyway—onward to the day’s chaos. This warmup? Off the rails. Literally. No Wordle. No Hurdle. No grid of doom (Squaredle, I LOATHE you). Instead, two maps appeared on the board like ominous apparitions. The task: give a sentence comparing them. Easy? Think again. You had to remember every single sentence said before yours and build onto it like a verbal game of Jenga. One wrong sentence and the whole thing collapsed. Spoiler: it did. I couldn’t remember the order for the life of me, but watching the others spiral into confusion was... kind of entertaining. Schadenfreude? Perhaps. Afterward, we received yet another map worksheet. Cartography is slowly b...

 The final term, yay! 3 months of demotivation and barely getting by until summer starts. Sweet, beautiful, break.  Feb 19 - Duotrigor-Don't Duotrigordle . Sounds like a spell. Feels like a curse. The premise? Solve 32 Wordles. At. The. Same. Time. In a limited number of guesses.  The suffering began immediately. It took us over 20 minutes. Most of which consisted of Sid speaking rapid-fire guesses while the rest of us nodded solemnly, too stunned to contribute. The words kind of melted together, but it was an interesting mind-boggle. . Did we finish? Not really. Did we win? Also no. But did we keep guessing anyway like stubborn toddlers who refuse to accept bedtime? Yes. Yes, we did. The moral of the story? Duotrigordle is no warmup. It’s psychological warfare disguised as a word game. The rest of AEP was abruptly cut off by club time. Fun. Feb 26 - Wordle. Exam. Identity Crisis. Ah, yes. A shortened period. A blessing. Or so I thought. We dove straight into Wordle, a cl...

HELLOO WELCOME BACK!!! (Let's pretend I have not just finished my last blog a while ago lol.) I don't have a clue what to write in this blog cause all I did that week is take my finals. ANYWAY! I will just yap about my life atm. It's 7 in the morning, and I just crammed all my missing assessments cause today is the LAST day of submission. I hate that I built it all up for today, but like it's not totally my fault—because why was I getting assigned with so many projects every week while I had the most important exam of my life ahead? Well, to no benefit, I am doing the assessments while my exams have already started, so like it was my loss either way. As for the Cambridge, everything is so crazy. I took my first exam. It was Math Paper 1. AND THE FIRST EXAM GOT US ALL COOKED (of course Leo, because of his brilliant Chinese genes). The paper was actually so insane, and not because it was hard or something. BUT THEY COMPLETELY CHANGED THE PATTERN. There was not a single t...

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 ...
