First day of school wore my body down

Although school started last week, today was my first day. I am exhausted!

I have a class that starts before 8 a.m., and my last class ends after 9 p.m. My classes are cool, though. I like my professors already, and I've found people in class I will be able to study with.

I was also able to get my transcripts for a scholarship I'm applying for. I also got a grade changed. A process that truly has tested my patience and determination.

I was also able to make great progress on a literacy program I'm initiating. I think I'll name it, "Peralta READS." I'm still working on an acronym for "READS."

Today, I have to finalize my class schedule and budget for books. With rent due tomorrow, it's going to be hard. But I got a secret weapon: the penny jar.

All in all, with all the running around, all the potential distractions, I was able to remain focused. But, I got sick. I'm taking it slow today.

I've already shoved a bunch of vitamins down my throat. I also drank plenty of water and some tea.
