With my second week at Russell Sage coming to an end, I noticed that there is never enough coffee to feel awake! It’s been a little crazy trying to settle in with everything that has to be done, and I also noticed that my stress level went from a 0 to a 10 real quick. I woke up super early for a Music Theory class that was taught by I think one of my favorite professors so far! All was going pretty good until I had to register for more classes and realized that I had to pay a lot more money then I had thought at the beginning of the school year. As soon as I knew the amount, my stomach sank and I instantly thought of getting another job to pay for it all. Coming from a lower class family, I have had to work for everything I have. I am not one to crumble under the pressure though! I’ll see how work goes this weekend financially, and hopefully I’ll have most of the money for these classes and personal finances (phone bill, feminine products, textbooks, and school supplies) If there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s making things work, and I am going to push as hard as I can to make this work! With enough coffee, I can do this!
