Its an entirely different situation. I can't just up and get a job. I have hours of class everyday then I spend the rest of the day studying and preping for the next day. My JOB is school--and i assure you its a 50 + hour a week one. When I was getting my MA i was able to hold down a job because it wasn't as intensive.

My point in sharing this experience was not to get solutions but to show how difficult it is as a middle-class individual to get a education past basic undergraduate experience.

It is against the policy of the law school for me to hold employment as a student. So jobs are out of the question for the moment.

Other than that, have family and friends send care packages to you. Nothing wrong with that....cookies, food gift certificates etc. would certainly break the monotony of ramen and RC.

Anyway, hang in there...what you are going through now will certainly pay off in the future. Best of luck.
