So, I’ve not long been out of class, but as you can see,
the countdown is on and crack-a-lackin’. In a mere twenty-five days, I’ll be
heading back to Los Angeles to not only have a great summer vacation, but also
to prepare for my internship this fall. I’ve thought about this long and hard,
y’all, and there’s just no way of getting around it. While I’m excited to work
side by side with Mrs. Martin this fall, my heart is somewhat heavy because I’ll
be leaving my fellow Rustites behind. Oh, sure—it’s only gonna be for the first
half of this 2015-16 school year, and yes, I will be back in time for the
second semester, but yet and still, I’ve grown so close to Ruby, Theo, Craig,
and Azalea. I really wish there was another way.
It’s a Rust College thang—I wouldn’t expect some-a-y’all
to understand.
All of those old
adages are ringing true right now. Yes, I am in one helluva Catch-22. Yes, I am
caught between a rock and a hard place. Yes, I am damned if I do, and I am sho’
nuff damned if I don’t. Trust me—I’ve thought long and hard about all of this.
As Michael Jackson said, it’s too high for me to go over and it’s too low for
me to go under. I’m stuck in the middle, and that pain is definitely thunder. Oh,
well—there’s no other way to go but straight ahead. I’ll say this much, though:
If I gotta go through this, then I may as well go in with teeth bared and fur
flyin’!
I got that quote from an episode of ThunderCats!
Well, I guess I had better get on up and close this here
blog post—I’ll be meeting up with my peeps for lunch in about now and a few
minutes, but I’ll holla back at y’all in due time.
Smooches,
Natasha
