Hello again!
After our numerous virtual meetings, we are now finally in the same room with each other. Can't believe it only took two whole years...(sarcasm)
I actually thought I'd never see the day but yet here we are, writing our blogs in silent in front of each other on our tiny little laptops. I've only been here for three weeks but I can say that it for sure feels less draining. The amount of workload might be the same, however seeing my peers on the daily actually helps a lot. I feel as if I have my own little support system to keep me going. This is because I can physically see and feel their emotions as well as they can see mine. Hence, it lets me know that I am not alone.
One thing I still can't seem to wrap my head around is how we're all seniors now. We literally went into lockdown when we were fourteen and now we're mostly seventeen year olds. Even though we were always so silent during our virtual meetings we finally managed to speak to each other face to face. So I guess thats one very important advantage we got from having offline school.
During our first week of AEP, Miss Disa was kind enough to let us adjust to the schedule. Miss did say that she was also the one adjusting but I still appreciate the relaxing time we had because of it. We calmly played scrabble against each other and made great use of our vocabulary. Though, we did end up a mess because of the amount of letters we ended up lacking.
Though for this week, I was kind of nervous about walking into AEP class. I acknowledge how late I was in submitting our project one part one. I only finished at twelve in the morning and I don’t really have an excuse for that except that I simply wasn’t expecting my mental block to last that long. I decided to write about the fast fashion industry and the overconsumption that comes with it.
In that class Miss Disa started off by checking my project and I ended up finding out about just how much of an interest she had in sustainable clothing. It made me really happy when Miss Disa was barely able to contain herself when she read my response. I found that we shared an interest and I ended up learning much more about my essay topic from her. Not to forget the amount of feedback I’ve gotten with it. I like how I was able to get Miss Disa to talk about her contribution to sustainable consumption. It made me feel like my hours of writing wasn't for nothing.
We had a really nice and meaningful talk in this weeks AEP lesson and I can even say that it ended up being the highlight of my day. With Medo's project on manifestation, we discussed a lot about having a positive mindset and how it'd impact our life. I talked about the class afterwards and we ended up agreeing that the AEP class seemed like an extension of Elle's psychology class. I really enjoyed this week's class and I can't wait to see what we'll come up with next.
I do prefer grade twelve's project compared to what we had before lockdown. The reason being how I'd always cram the vocabulary memorization in the morning of. I just find it nice that we now have the freedom to write about anything we want. I guess the hardest challenge now is seeing how my creativity decides to run during certain times. My first project ended up being late because of a mental block I had. I guess with this in mind, I'd need to start researching on ways to get out of a mental block.
See you guys next time!
Signing off,
Ratih.
