Famous Last Words: 7 Deadly Sins and Sickness

Hi Everyone!

This past week absolutely sucked. I got sick Monday night and I’ve been trying to recover all week. I would drink my medicine but when I woke up, I felt like I was near death. I felt super weak and my head wasn’t fully there if you know what I mean. Despite my sickness, I still went to my classes. I had to go to my physical chemistry class because I had to turn in homework on Wednesday. Then, on Thursday, I had a physics lab practical at 10:45 am so I really couldn’t skip. Towards the end of the week, my sickness became an annoying cough. The night before my practical, I ended up staying awake all night because I kept coughing despite drinking medicine. I would have taken NyQuil but it was already too late and that medicine knocks me out for several hours; I would not have woken up in time.

On the bright side, after I took my practical, I decided to treat myself by going to the sauna! It was my first time so I had no idea what to expect. I sat in the steam room for thirty minutes and afterwards, I was completely soaked. I also took advantage of their shower by rinsing for 15 minutes. The spa also provided towels, shampoo, conditioner, and soap. I really thought they were going to charge me for all the items that I used but in the end, the total came out to an even $20. I will definitely be going back to the spa but next time, I want a full body massage.

Due to my sickness, I haven’t been in the gym as much as I wanted to. I went to Sarkey’s Fitness Center with my girl Brenda on Tuesday night. By the time we got there, I felt super weak. I don’t really like going to gym when I’m not feeling good because I want my workouts to be worth it. Throughout the workout, I felt sluggish and tired. When I got home, my body had the chills.


Another bright side is that I aced my microbiology exam that I took this past Friday! Me an my friend took the exam online. Based on the group me with my classmates, many of them felt like the exam was trash. Luckily, my and my friend Aaliyah studied together the week leading up to the exam so we knew many of the questions. What’s cool is that my micro professor made attendance optional due to the coronavirus. He made us do clicker quizzes in class but now he’s going to make them online concept checks. After acing the exam, me and my friend Aaliyah ate at the nice cafeteria for lunch.

Lastly, I want to say that I finally started watching 7 Deadly Sins with my boyfriend. Initially, I wanted to watch it because of one of the characters named Ban. I saw Ban on Instagram and wondered which anime he was from. After doing some research, I found out that he’s from the 7 Deadly Sins. To be honest, I think he’s super hot so I watched scenes from the show that included him. Soon, my interest for Ban became an interest for the overall show. The show takes place in medieval times which is something I’m not used to when it comes to anime. Right now, I’ve seen Sir Meliodas (Dragon’s sin of Wrath) and Big Diane (Serpent’s sin of Envy). Currently, I am waiting to see the hot and intrinsic, Ban (fFox’s sin of Greed).

Week 8 Progress

In the beginning of the semester, I felt like I had a good handle on the assignments but soon, my progress declined and I started to miss many assignments. I currently have half of the total points we’re supposed to have so form here until the end of the semester, I will be hauling major booty. Out of all the assignments, I enjoy the project the most because that’s where I get to be creative and retell me own story. Another assignment I enjoy is posting my story on my portfolio because that’s where it gets revised into the best version of itself; I think it’s a cool process. When it comes to extra credit, I like to do Wikipedia Trails and Famous Last Words. Other assignments that I do sometimes are the Microfiction and the Bibliography.

For this next semester, I would like to do do all the assignments ahead of time. Hopefully, I can do so over Spring Break! I want to avoid doing these assignments last minute. I want to feel productive and do them all in the beginning of the week.

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

All the comments I receive are surprisingly positive. In addition to being positive, they give me feedback in a nice way. I don’t handle negative criticism or simple criticism well in general so having everyone be super nice about it is great. The comments I find useful are the ones that say they were confused about this part of my story. While I’m writing my story, a certain part might make sense to me but to others it might not. I think rewriting my story to prevent further confusion is an opportunity for me to become a better writer by writing more precise. Also, my grammar skills are trash so getting corrected from the professor is great because I learn the most after making the mistake.

When I read other people’s stories, sometimes I get inspired. I see how other people think and when I comment, I definitely let them know that the way they wrote their story was good. Initially, I used the  WWW method but now I’ve tweaked it a little bit so that I’m not strictly following it.

I actually reread my introduction and other people’s intro a few days ago. After reading other people’s intro, I ended up not liking mine just because I feel like I went way to deep into my life. Other people kept their intro simple, short and at surface level. However, my intro is super long and I don’t think I really introduced myself. I saw other people post multiple pictures of them and I got frustrated because I didn’t even think of doing that. In the end, I would like to rewrite my intro so that I introduce myself clearly; I want to get straight to the point about who I am. After reading the comments on my intro, I feel like I did connect with other students who struggle with staying fit while balancing school.


I chose this feedback cat because it shows how I can get after reading feedback. I know my stories aren’t perfect so when people read them, I tend to stay away from reading the comments. Then, after I do read the comments, I start to think of negative comments about myself like “I suck at writing” or “how could I make such a stupid mistake?” I saw this feedback cat and instantly connected with it.

Week 8 Reading and Writing

Looking back at my creations, I have to say that I’m happy with them. For my blog, I did spend some time customizing it to the way I like it. I love green so I ended up using the bamboo background. I played around with some fonts and found one that I really liked. However, looking over at my blog, I think I’ll make some changes to it. I feel like the font is too light making it harder for the reader to read my posts.


When it comes to my website, I spent a lot of time searching for the right background picture. I love Zelda so I just thought it would look aesthetically pleasing if I used a Zelda theme. The part that I had most difficulty with was the title. I ended up staying with Triforce Legends because my portfolio is going to be composed of my favorite stories in which I’ll try to make them into legends. Also, I was thinking that since the word “triforce” is in the title, I’d try to make my stories follow one of the specific traits that the triforce stands for. In the game, the triforce is composed of three pieces that represents courage, wisdom, and power. My first story shows the courageousness of the capybara so I might continue with that idea. My next legend would showcase wisdom.


One of my favorite posts is the the Pearl of the Nadi. It includes themes from my favorite anime and game. In one of my posts, I included this picture which would have to be my favorite. I chose this picture because of what I was writing. I was trying to sound inspirational or at least encouraging so I used All Might who is my favorite character from My Hero Academia.
