Can i use a single studio monitor?

They're probably sold single so you can setup multi channel system more easily... Or buy a replacement without needing to get a pair.

If you want to write and mix stereo music you need two monitors for left and right. Just like your home music player and your car probably do.

When started out I just used a set of computer speakers until I could afford better stuff.

If it will only be three weeks until you can purchase the second monitor, I would highly suggest you wait to buy both at the same time.

Beyond having a stereo set up (which you'll need to do any mixing at all..I mean some people will argue you can mix in mono), you'll want your monitors to "burn in" at the same time (monitors take time to break in and really open up).
