Janek-AEP9-BLOG #2 - See ya next time aep :DD

This is my final blog post for the school year 2022-2023, and the odd thing is that I'm at a loss for words. Or, has everything been said? Even though this year has been incredibly delightful and amusing, it has led me to make this declaration. This time, I believe that the subject and teachers have given me so much astonishment and excitement that it is exhausting for me to explain all of its deep details. To have to say and dictate it in all its repetitive grandeur truly irritates me, but I wouldn't use that as an excuse to leave this blog; instead, it would concentrate on what I loved and didn't enjoy about AEP.

The years gone by quick and many things has happened, but not soo much has changed. The everyday warmup has been ongoing and never stopped its streak from the first term. Each morning either has us enjoying ourselves as we begin to play around with the game, not totally aiming for the victory; Or going all out just to get the game over with. It's an effective exercise that not only wakes me, but leaves an aching pain on the back of my head for the rest of the day. The many games that we have come across throughout the year will forever be in our hearts and nightmares, most especially hurdle :D! Moving on, the lessons. Oh how I despise lessons.

We all know that lessons throughout each term are a student's biggest enemy. Miss makes an effort to include films, eye-catching graphics, and fantastic background music to fully engage us, which it succeeds in doing. But are there really that many things to say about lessons? Lessons are the most repulsive thing known to man, to have little honesty in my words. Don't even get me started on activities and after-school assignments; they are abhorrent. If I were still here, I just hope that Miss constructed her lessons in this fashion, or else I never would have enrolled in AEP in the first place.  Speaking of other activities, we certainly have games and oral communication.

From term one through term three, the oral exams and games are the ones that cause us the least stress in class—or do they? Our typical oral leads us to DOGO News, a site we adore for its witty and unique news from throughout the world, which makes us thrilled and gives us a terrific recitation grade!!! This isn't all that it's known for, though, as Miss has recently added a segment of the recitation where she asks the class to recall specific important details from the news and then has us tell her about them. It's terrible; every time it gets close to my turn, I start to get butterflies in my stomach. Many times, me and the class had to turn to redundant or pointless information, but we moved on. Oral in all its greatness comes horrible times where our amnesia strikes with agonizing annoyance of how frustrating a feat can be! But what is more frightening than something slipping from your mind is the idea of a losing streak in scrabble.

There is nothing to say about scrabble; it is a global endeavor that us boys absolutely loathe. For us, defeat is equivalent to losing several million dollars on a game show. The girls have demonstrated outstanding talent in their ability to create words and their understanding of game mechanics, among other things. It's amazing to watch the girls play with such poise and skill while the lads freeze and start thinking about what's for lunch instead of looking for a new word. The word brainfart isn't anywhere close to capturing the intensity of how challenging it is to come up with new words without consulting a dictionary, but we still found the game to be delightful in all senses.

So, when I say the year has been fantastic, I mean it. I can't help but reflect on what we accomplished since term 1 and how we appear today. Even now, I find it strange to look back at previous years and see how things have changed. Although there isn't much to say about it, I can only really declare that it was memorable and that I am already looking forward to next year's AEP.
