The Countdown Continues...

Hi, Everyone!

Today is Tuesday, May 21, 2013, and y’all already know what that means: In 11 days, I will be making my return to the Golden State.

I’m just about done with my itinerary, but I’m taking a break right now so I can work on what to wear when I go home for the summer. I am truly amazed at how this summer semester has just relatively whisked by. I mean, it seemed like yesterday it was May 1st, and now all of a sudden it’s three weeks later? Where does the time go?

In any event, it will be a wonderful feeling to be home for much longer than I was around Christmastime. I can’t wait to hit up the old stompin’ grounds again—Santa Monica Pier, Auntie Cherri & Uncle Alex’s house, practically every Southern Cali mall within a twenty-mile radius of me, and of course, I gotta holla at my girl Gramma Jewel. The only reason why I didn’t mention Mom & Dad is because they’re in a class all by themselves. And I may as well go ahead and admit that I’ve been craving a double king burger with chili cheese fries for the last five months.

Y’all already know what that means—Fatburger, here I come!

Well, in other news, Cousin Calvin is all set to graduate from Cal State Long Beach tomorrow. Due to the fact that he is a business major, his ceremony will be at 5pm. I called him last night and wished him well. I also told him how much I regretted not being able to see him graduate tomorrow. “I wish you were graduating on June 8 or something—you know, so I can be there to cheer you on,” I moped. Cousin Calvin chuckled and told me not to worry about it on account of Uncle Ronnie and Auntie Brenda wouldn’t be able to make it as well, and neither would most of our cousins. And besides, according to Cousin Calvin, each graduate was given ten tickets a piece. I already knew that Auntie Cherri, Uncle Alex, Cousin Nessa, and Gramma Jewel received a ticket—that’s four right there. Now, Becky made mention of going (that’s five), and I talked to Mom & Dad this morning before my 8am class; they confirmed that they’re going as well, so that’s seven.

Three tickets remain. Whichever one of my family members gets a ticket, I want y’all to do like that song we sing in church and… Remember Me!

Well, that’s gonna do it for today. I’ve got to work some more on this final exam paper. I’ve also got to study for my other class… that’s so sad that I forgot the name of it (ha-ha-ha), but I know that I’ve got to study for it. My instructor said that everything we learned since May 1 is gonna be on the final, so y’all know that I’m gonna study like I ain’t never studied before.

Until tomorrow, y’all take care.


Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
