Can My Success Be Matched?

Hi, Everyone!

I feel like quoting the Mamas and the Papas:

Monday, Monday—sounds good to me…

So, I just got my research paper back from my Grammar & Comp II class, and just like I predicted, I received an A+!

Forgive me if this sounds cocky, but I knew all along that I was gonna get an A+. In the famous words of my Grampa Clark, I didn’t half-ass the assignment—I used my full ass. It would’ve been different if I waited until the last minute and tried to put some baloney together on the fly, but that has never been my style. And then too, when it came down to it, I used actual research on why Los Angeles is a great place to live and visit. Not only did I use my research, but I also used my experience as a native Los Angeleno.

And check out what my professor wrote on my cover page:

“Natasha, this is exceptionally, outstandingly excellent work—you are to be commended! I enjoyed your research paper so much that I almost called Southwest Airlines and booked a flight for Los Angeles. Your research was topnotch and the photos of your family and friends sealed the deal for me. Who better to tell me all about L.A. except an actual L.A. native? Keep up the good work, Natasha—this is your best work yet, and I am looking forward to the next paper!”

I only have two words to say: HOT DAMN, Y’ALL!!!

I’m glad that my professor enjoyed my paper so much, but now comes the question: Can I top this? Is it possible to go above and beyond the standards that I personally set for myself? I mean, let’s be real: In wrestling, the most prestigious title is the World Heavyweight Championship Belt; after that, there are no higher title. As far as I know, I can’t get any higher than an A+, but I can damn sure work for another one.

Having said that, here is my next paper: I have to write about an inspirational figure in my life, whether they are a family member or a celebrity. Much like my last paper it must be five pages, double-spaced, 12-font, and it must have a reference page. I have five people already in mind, but I’m gonna give you my choice in tomorrow’s blog.

Oh, and check this out: Notwithstanding my Grammar & Comp II paper and my upcoming speech assignment this Friday, I have a midterm in my Physical Science class. I tell y’all—Rust is really crankin’ it on a sista. They wanna see if this Cali girl really has the heart, soul, passion and desire that she says she has. Well, let me be the one to tell you: I can back it up in more ways than one, Baby! You’re looking at Natasha Renee Stewart—Ben & Dani’s baby girl, Vivian Jones’ youngest granddaughter, Alex & Cheryl’s niece… and yes, I’m even known as the Hollywood Vipress. I think I made mention of it before, but it looks like I gotta declare one mo’ ginn that I can and I will in fact go the distance—just you watch me!

But I digress.

In any event, this Physical Science midterm is focused on everything that we’ve gone over since class started a little over three weeks ago. I haven’t told y’all, but I’ve taken at least two hours each day to study for this dang-blasted midterm… oh, and did I mention that the midterm is Wednesday?

Calling all Prayer Warriors! Calling all my Prayer Warriors!

Until tomorrow, y’all take care!

Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha
