I'm close, Just do it

With no money, no places open, and barely anything in the refrigerator... I made myself what I could for dinner. Having little time and money sucks, but it certainly brings out creativity and how we cope with what we can. I certainly don't take good care of my body and with the crazy heat out here and my body wanting to shut down... It gets kind of scary. Fortunately San Jose decided to cool down and things are much clearer. My stomach has been hurting lately, It could be from anxiety. Classes out here are nerve-racking I never feel prepared. At Hartford, information was fed to me as if I was a baby and we were all tended too so gently. The mommies and daddies took care of us... But out here, it's like a baby being left at an orphanage. I'm learning so much everyday. Academics, work, freelance, friends, people, city life, house work, being a girlfriend, daughter, sister... etc. And now I'm confused. Sometimes I feel like I'm caught up in so many other things that I forget what I'm doing. I need to stay focused on one thing... being a Student. My number 1 priority. Do whatever it takes to learn what I need to learn, but to do that I have to do what it takes to stay alive...

"With no money, no places open, and barely anything in the refrigerator... I made myself what I could for dinner.

That was my entire summer... there were days where I had pasta... with oil and salt and pepper.. for breakfast, lunch and dinner... But in terms of creativity..one day all I had left was some rice.. but i was sick of it.. so I cooked it, made it into "patties" and fried it..
