Finally, The Big 2-1 Has Arrived!

Hi, Everyone!

 

I want to start off today’s blog post by singing:

 

Happy Birthday to me.

Happy Birthday to me.

Happy 21^st Birthday, Yours Truly.

Happy Birthday to… ME!!!

 

 

That’s right, y’all—I’ve got plenty reason to celebrate because the big 2-1 has finally arrived! I don’t know if y’all can tell, but I am ultra excited… hahahahahaha! Hell, the proof is in the pudding; after all, check out that hot picture of me in my peppermint sundress… and yes, I was feeling rather sexy that day… hahaha! To be honest, I took this picture over the summer; it was right after my family reunion but right before I returned to Rust. And incidentally, I would like to thank my Cousin Trisha for her great photography skills. She caught the real me—sweet, silly, sexy, sensual, and sensitive.

 

I know some of you have read that last sentence and said to yourselves: “There’s no conceit in Natasha’s family—she’s got it all!” If you’ve thought that, then you’re half-right. Remember this: It’s not conceit if you can back it up, and judging by my photo, I can damn sure back it up in more ways than one… hahaha!

In all seriousness, though, I recognize that any birthday is worth celebrating, but I am truly grateful to be allowed the opportunity to celebrate my big 2-1. There’s a song by the Winans that says: “Millions didn’t make it, but I was one of the ones who did.” Well, that’s just how I feel right now. I know for a fact that the greatest birthday present is the fact that I am here and I am celebrating another day. I am humble, I am honored, and I am overjoyed to see twenty-one years.

 

With that said, it’s time to start celebrating with my peeps. I’ll holla at y’all later!

 

 

Smooches,

Natasha

Bring On Those Finals, Baby!

Happy Monday, Y’all!

Well, judging by the picture that I have for today’s blog post, y’all already know what’s up with me this week. I also trust that y’all got the message from my Gramma Jewel—and I do humbly apologize for this past Saturday. Truth is, a sista’s still buckled down for finals.

I could understand if this was my first rodeo, but I’ve been down this road before; as a matter of fact, it was just last year when I made my debut at Rust. I had a very successful freshman year here in Bearcat Country, and I’m looking forward to an even greater sophomore year. So far it’s been great—challenging as all get-up and go, but great nonetheless. And while I’m taking care not to jump too far ahead of myself, I wanna let y’all know that I am planning on taking a trip to Memphis and spend the weekend with my Great Aunt Donna after I pass the finals… that’s right—I’m speaking it into existence! I’ve already talked to my Great Aunt Donna yesterday afternoon, and I made it known that I would like to stay with her once I confidently walk out of my last class. I already know that she’s gonna try to sing—y’all already know the running joke in our family as it relates to Great Aunt Donna not quitting her day job… hahahaha!

By the way: Remind me to share a blockbuster story sometime this week with you all, but until then, y’all take care, and remember to keep your girl lifted up in prayer.

Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha

Good News From Physical Science Class

Hi, Everyone!

This morning’s Physical Science class is living proof that The Lord is still sho’ nuff good!

Check this out, y’all: It’s no secret that I was studying my ass off for this pop quiz on the periodic table of the elements. Well, imagine my surprise when my professor said that today was the day that we were having the pop quiz!

Now, admittedly I was a touch nervous, but once my professor told us to begin, I took off to the races. I guess you can say that I had that Kanye West mentality, but this is what I found so amazing: I had studied the entire periodic table of the elements for the last couple of days, but there were only 25 elements on the quiz. And call me crazy or intuitive, but I had a feeling that those very 25 elements would be on that quiz.

Excuse me—were you sayin’ something?  Uh-uh—you can’t tell me nothin’!

I also want to point out that I quadrupled-checked my answers before I turned in my quiz… and it’s good that I checked for the fourth and final time: I noticed that I left Question #15 blank. I must’ve been writing so fast that I skipped one. Thank God that I looked again.

Well, needless to say, I got a perfect score on that quiz. Incidentally, I was also the very one to complete the quiz. My professor was all astonished at my performance—heck, I was all the more astonished—and before I left, my professor said to me, “Miss Stewart, if the results of this quiz is any indication of what I am to expect from you, I want to congratulate you right now.”

Excuse me—were you sayin’ something?  Uh-uh—you STILL can’t tell me a damn thang!

Well, y’all—it’s time for me to head on and get ready for my Grammar & Comp II class, and later on my Fundamentals of Speech class. I just thought I would share the good news about my Physical Science quiz with you all.

By the way, I’m not being cocky. Remember this: It’s not showin’ off if you can back it up… and with the curves I’ve got, I can damn sho’ back it up!

Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha
