It's about 3 weeks into the semester now, and thankfully I don't feel *that* stressed. Most of my stress right now is just having to deal with the fact that I have like zero dollars in my bank account, but hopefully that will change whenever I finally start getting paid for my Eudora Welty job (for the semester, different from the job I had during the summer). So for this semester I have three different classes, a directed study, and two student organizations to run. Plus I'm working as the programmer in a project we're doing for the Eudora Welty Fellows. So I have: - Intro to Creative Writing (I've already taken higher classes but it's a requirement) - British and American Literary History I - Money, Markets, and Leadership - English Interpretations/Creative Writing in a Digital Frame of Reference (Directed Study) - Eudora Welty Fellowship work - President of the Millsaps Computer Club - President of the Society for the Advancement of Electronic Culture (SAEC aka Nerd Club) - Millsaps International Buddy Now that I've listed it it feels like I'm doing a lot looool. I really hope that I'm able to get some funds soon though. My mom had to buy most of my books because I couldn't afford them, but that's about the most she's really able to do other than giving me 10 or 20 bucks for food every so often. I found out today my stepdad doesn't have anything as far as work right now (he's a contractor), so they don't have much either. I think I'll get paid $250 a month from October through December (before taxes and my cable bill), but I'm not sure after that. Hopefully I'll be able to stay at Millsaps through the end of March before study abroad and work, but if not I guess I'll have to try and find work at home. There just isn't any real IT work as far as I know at home, so I'm not sure what to do about it (plus I would only be working for three months). Maybe I could try substitute teaching if nothing else, as long as it's still not a requirement to have a degree. aNYWAY sorry if I'm absent from stuff like Wasabi and Mastodon a lot. I've been busy working and tending to friends, so I've only been able to tune in off and on. I was actually planning on listening Sunday night, but I was working on rebuilding the Computer Club website and next thing I knew it was 10:00pm (2 hours after Wasabi my time). The good news is is that it's mostly rebuilt though lol. Hopefully it won't be long before everything's done. I'm thinking we may start a Donorschoose soon for the Computer Club to get some money for a better server than our Pi 3b and also a few desktops, so if we do then I'll post the link on Mastodon if anyone is able to contribute. We accept all donations! (I do too... lol) Anyway, that's all for now! If you haven't done so, check out the Millsaps Computer Club gopher server! It's located on port 70 at gopher://mpcclub.info/ (or g mpcclub.info/)! Adios!
