Journal Entry

I haven’t been journaling because nothing eventful has happened. I accomplished my goal of sending out 50 letters to 50 colleges and universities. I have also contacted 7 community organizations. I have gotten a response back yet. my progress has been weird due to this institution transitioning to a lower level of security. they are moving people out weekly so I’m in limbo not knowing if I’m leaving or staying. I am living week to week. don’t want to pack up my books because I won’t get them for months so I’m trying to read them super fast and take notes while dealing with outside issues. I’ll be glad when this part is finished my brain isn’t settled however I keep pushing I still can’t afford to waste time. a mentor is leaving tomorrow I have known him since I’ve been here and he had a lot of programs started here and was really helpful so it is kind of sad as weird as that sounds but I know my ultimate goal is the streets and that’s where my head is at!
