Woke up. Cleaned litter boxes. Ate (not from the litter boxes, you weirdos). Got a headache.

Did no studying this evening whatsoever.  🙁  And now I am tired and my brain doesn't feel happy so I'm going to bed again.

This is the typical struggle of a weekday evening for me.  By the time I go to class, then go to work, then get off work and get home, and take care of anything I need to around here, I'm really too exhausted to think about homework or studying.  Some days I can make it work, but some I just can't.  Even though I need the hours I'm probably working a short day tomorrow.  I have to keep my priorities in order.  School is #1.

I know I still have time to think about it, but I have no idea what I will do when I transfer to JSU.  If I get the scholarship it's wasteful to not go full time because it pays for two spring and two fall semesters, but I really don't think I can work and go full time and maintain my grades.  I am told that I can still get my Pell Grant which would help ease the financial burden, but it's not enough to carry me all year.  I have some big decisions that I need to start thinking seriously about at some point this year.  Suggestions are welcome.

If it helps I have to work 20 hours a week to be eligible for food stamps so that's what I'm doing now, but it still feels like too much.  I wonder if TANF is an option.  I know this stupid state doesn't like it when you aim too high so the fact that I would be working towards a Bachelor's degree at that point might disqualify me, but the degree I'm working on now is basically a transfer degree so it's not like I can run out and get a fancy, high-paying job with it... I just don't know.

Anyway.  Goodnight.  Again.
