A Special Cameo Appearance This Weekend

Hi, Everybody!

So, as the title of today’s blog post suggests, I will be heading to Rust College this weekend to celebrate our Founders’ Day weekend. I’m tellin’ y’all right now—this was a miracle in and of itself! I am so grateful that I will be able to pay a surprise visit to my fellow Bearcats, if only for a little while… that’s right, y’all—Ruby, Theo, Craig, and Azalea have no idea that I’ll be out there this weekend, but I guarantee that they’re gonna be some kinda surprised when they see me. And the beauty in all of this—Great Aunt Reesie and Auntie Gladys will grace Rust College with their presence.

Ooh, I cannot wait until this weekend. I can see Ruby’s face so clear right now! Granted, this is only a cameo appearance, but I’m grateful nonetheless.

Now, I know that I’m gonna be cutting it close on Friday, but so be it. You see, I am still in the middle of my internship at Carter Elementary, and Mrs. Martin has granted me permission to take off on Friday. I don’t think it will shock any of you when I say that I declined Mrs. Martin’s offer, and with good reason: You see, I know that if I miss one day, I will have to make up for it. I know how important my internship is—it’s a good chunk of my grade. Fortunately, my plane arrives in Memphis at 9pm CST, and I’ll be staying with Auntie Gladys until I return home on Sunday.

Well, I would love to stay and chat some more, but I’ve got some packing to do, plus I gotta call Auntie Gladys and get our synchronization perfected. I’ll definitely holla at y’all when I come back home this Sunday, but until then, y’all take care and be good.


Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha

It Begins Again, Y'all!

Me and Auntie Gladys at last year's Founders Day Weekend.

And A Very Happy Friday to All-A-Y’all!

Well, this is it, y’all—the 2013 Rust College Homecoming (a.k.a. Founders Day Weekend) is officially upon us!

I don’t know what it is, but Bearcat Country seems to get that much more exciting around this time of year, considering that this’ll be the second time that I will be part of the festivities. Let me put it this way: Founders Day Weekend is to Rust College what the SuperBowl is to an avid football fan.

Now y’all understand the importance of such a monumental event as Founders Day!

And yes, that is a picture of me and my Auntie Gladys from last year’s festivities. I can just hear some of the fellas now: “Dang, Tasha—your Auntie Gladys is a fox!”

One of the reasons why I am excited about this year’s festivities revolves around the coronation of Miss Rust 2013-14. I think I mentioned in a previous blog post that the coronation is fit for a queen—in every aspect of the word. It’s full of royal regality, and only one young lady is chosen as the elitest of the elite to represent her school, in a positive light, of course. And by the way: I have decided that before I graduate, I’m gonna throw my name in the ring… that’s right, y’all! As of this blog post, I—Natasha Renee Stewart—am running for Miss Rust College 2016-17!

Well, I guess I had better close up this blog post; after all, I’ve got Intro to Humanities in about ten minutes. Hopefully, I’ll be able to post a blog for tomorrow, but just in case I am unable to do so, I’ll just holla at y’all on Monday. Either way, y’all take care of yourselves and have a good weekend.

Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha

Excitement in Bearcat Country Once Again!

Good Day, Good People!

There is excitement in the air once again in Bearcat Country, and while I admit that I am not a detective, I believe that this extra excitement may have something to do with Founders Weekend taking place on November 8-10, 2013… yes, that’s just a little over a week away, and I gotta find something good to wear.

If you recall, I had a blast at my very first Founders Weekend last year; I got to see the coronation of Miss Rust 2012-13, and I gotta say that it was a lovely coronation! Let’s put it this way: It was like a royal, regal ceremony for a lovely lady to represent all of Rust College. I haven’t decided yet on whether or not I’ll throw my hat into the ring for the Miss Rust title, but I have been giving it some thought, and I must say that I am very interested.

Also, last year’s Founders Weekend was where I met Gramma Jewel’s college roommate and my brand-new honorary auntie, Ms. Gladys Williams. I’m still shocked at how she knew who I was, just by looking at me; if I remember correctly, she said that I had those Delta Jewel eyes… and I just remembered: I need to call Auntie Gladys and see if she’ll be attending this year’s Founders Weekend. I also gotta call Great Aunt Reesie and see if she’s gonna be there as well.

Well, I really hate to cut this blog post short, but I’m still working on my paper for my Fine Arts class. I’ve decided to write about the greatest artwork in history—God’s Sunsets. This was actually brought to my attention when I was looking at the picture of me and Ray at Santa Monica Pier this past summer. Now, I’m not gonna use the picture of me and Ray for obvious reasons, so I’ll have to find another picture of a sunset.

Hey, my instructor said to use any type of artwork, and God’s sunsets are the greatest forms of art that I’ve ever seen.

Okay, y’all—I gotta go, but I’ll holla at y’all tomorrow!

Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha
