I wake up at 4 a.m., and leave for work at 4:30. I start work at 5 a.m. and work until 1:30 p.m., five days a week. I take my lunches and any breaks to do my school work. I do as much as I possibly can during those times. When I get home, I take care of my daughter. On days that she does nap, I'll do school while she's napping for about an hour and a half.

All my homework is due on Saturday at midnight, so I'll do work from 9 to 11 p.m., if there is work I need to finish up before it's due.
