So I’ve fallen on hardtimes for the last couple of weeks.
First, my laptop had went out and I STILL have not gotten it back–fixed at least. Then I was just slowly becoming broke. I had $50 to last me two weeks–minimum. As of this morning, I have $1 in my pocket. I mean, push come to shove, I can sell some clothes to Rag-O-Rama and get a little bit of change. But yeah…thank God for the food I had in my refridgerator, I made a gumbo earlier and I got some frozen chicken and some frozen fish I can cook.
But I still need to buy some rice and vegetables.
And did I mention I’m TOTALLY stressing out over getting this damn application in to Yale Divinity School. It’s due Monday officially, February 1st.
Oh, and did I mention it’s a $100 non-waiveable application fee?
And of course I need to buy books. There’s the Samuel D. Proctor Protest Conference that I probably should make an appearance at, but of course, that’s money that I don’t have even remotely.
So, just so y’all know, I’m a bit AWOL for a reason. Got a lot going on, but I guess I’ll pull through it.
Keep it uppity and keep it truthfully radical, JLL

STAY UP! I feel for you, since I can relate to the ‘don’t know where the money is going to come from’ feeling – but I am fairly positive it will come, and you will make it through. Keep on sharing your talents!
Keep your head up. Stay prayed up. It will work out for the good
You, too! I’m in a similar situation. Having decided to go to gradute school, I’m back to being the “poor college student.” You want to know how I make it? Two words–Ramen Noodles. 🙂
I am a graduate student with somewhat of an income I still have my tough financial moments, you’ll get through this.
Omg! You sound like me. I am steady trying to strectch a dollar. But one thing that always helps me is reminding myself that God will always help make a way, as long as I am trying to make a way for myself. He has never let me down or starve (for longer than a few days lol)

I bind the spirit of hunger and starvation!!! LOL
Oh I totally know what you mean. Those times when there’s no food in the house and then your face lights up when you discover that you still have a half full box of cream-o-wheat in the back of the cabinet. lol. That stuff is awesome with peanut butter. Keep ya head up! 🙂
