I awoke about an hour and a half ago. My dreams were more about raw shapes and angles than concepts that are relatable to the human experience, so there was less to remember and reflect on. Perhaps this type of dream is due to me being in classes and taking them seriously. I read that you should spend the first moments of your waking hour visualizing how you want your day to go- this is to avoid staying in ruts and sunconsciously making it happen. I didnt do anything noteworthy, but I did check my email and found something that may shape my day, or even entire curriculum: I have to pay 1100 in tuition fees by 12pm today or I will be dropped from my classes and it will be put for collections.
I have one option: to talk to the financial aid person at the college. I may have to opt for a phone call, though it may not prove as fruitful as an in person conversation- I just don't have change for the bus today; I can still go for a walk to the bus stop 15 minutes away and explain to the bus driver -hopefully- that I need to go to the school to ask about money, then request a transfer to come back up. I will try this.
I'm going to try to read a lot today. I read 30 pages of think and grow rich on the bus; It always inspires me. I also have to read atomic habits and hopefully start a few routines. (There should be no hopeful in that sentence -I will learn over time.)

Edit: the rest of the day (Sept11 -5:45am)

When I got to the college, I was greeted with the knowledge that the type of aid I was looking for wasn't for my type of courses (upgrading; high school courses) and that there was a different type of funding, but it ran out. Luckily for me, I was able to drop the courses and not have to pay anything- which was not what the email was saying; rather, if not mentioned, they wanted me to pay the entire sum of 11 hundred dollars by 12pm or it would go to collections and my courses would be dropped.
They recommended that I do the classes I was taking online, and register for the classes I would have taken in winter so I can stay on my curriculum. I believe this is a good idea, and I will look into online classes. The other thing they mentioned is: since I am a mature student -over 21- I may have more flexibility when it comes to my courses for getting into the University. I must call them today and have a conversation about it and see my options.
