The more that I think about it, the more that going to Community College seems like the more logical decision. Still though, perhaps the primary reason why I have been obsessing over university so much is because I still have a looming fear that I won't be able to take care of myself and pay my living expenses in 7 months when my housing grant expires; I was planing on living in student housing afterwards which Community College doesn't offer.
Perhaps I could get stared sooner than this fall? Maybe they do summer classes? I can find out.
Either way, having the help of an instructor or tutor would make things easier for me because I have such a difficult time doing so many things on my own.
In the meantime, I have been focused on building quality references while I wait on my DRS application to complete which should be soon; it's taken as long as it has because the mental health center that I receive services from was taking their sweet time sending medical documents but I have 2 people on the DRS side of things avocating for me and the lady that processed my application even moved me to priority 1 to get me in faster, so I have no doubt that I can get a job within the next 1-2 months.
In the meantime, I can upgrade my diet a bit more since I am spending roughly $20-24 per week on average on food. I can throw in things like lunch meat, bread, and lettuce and possibly some peanut butter and jelly which should get my caloric intake to around 1500-1800 while spending only roughly $10 more or so per week which is still not too bad. Still though, 1800 calories is asking too much since food is so expensive these days and I refuse to go to a food bank because my pride won't allow it.
