SO BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!
I know you guys have been hearing me talking off and on about a possible trip to Scotland this summer. I just got the final packet and the news that I had been accepted for a scholarship that will send me there!
There are a few problems - all of them financial. I live on a stipend from a limited amount of School Money that comes to me each month I am enrolled in school. It gets me by, but only JUST and it doesn’t leave much extra. That means I can’t really put money aside for this.
The scholarship covers the cost of the flight, but it doesn’t cover tuition. I have a little I managed to scrape together with tax returns from tuition spent on school last year but it only covers one of two payments that need to be made by the end of May.
SO! The bedroom project has been put on hold, because this is way more important. I have to have a decision made by next Tuesday, so I’m hardcore begging you to have a look at the stuff I have for sale.
The Land portion of the Scotland trip costs $1950. The Credits another $920. I’ll be in Scotland 3 weeks and I’ll need food and incidentals money. The flight is covered, so I don’t need to worry about that.
$300 nonrefundable to hold my place
$825 payment due by May 7th. (covered)
$825 payment due by June 7th
$??? Food and Incidentals
I know money is tight for everyone. I’ll be talking to my bank about a small line of credit or a student loan. I am ineligible for FAFSAS because of some stupid mix-up at the school I am still trying to sort out.
Help Send a Dude to the land of Furry Cows and Haggis.
We will be traveling all sorts of places while we are there, giving reports on the things we’ve learned in class at the places they actually happened. Super Excited about that.
I am willing to accept straight up donations, too…. but you should get something for it, so. To pique your interest… if you make a donation, You can command me to do SOMETHING while I’m in Scotland. The stipulations are:
It cannot be illegal by american or scottish laws or codes of conduct
It cannot jeopardize the reputation of my community college, My professors, myself or my group.
I don’t do nudity or indecent exposure.
But I will wear silly hats.
Or put on a costume and take a picture at a famous landmark.
Or buy weird foods and try them in the privacy of my own dorm room and video it.
I have no qualms about making a fool of myself, so long as it’s legal and doesn’t involve exposing myself or harming anyone or anything. ^__^
I will take videos, answer questions, talk about my trip, take pictures of local landmarks if you like.
PLease take a look at my Sales Blog: acemakespace and drop me an ask if you see something you like. Liquidating my life and trying to better myself by doing so.
For a few bucks I could do pencil sketches of animals or characters/people. I make no promises on the people, though.. I’m terrible at them. I don’t color - just pencils, and just sketchy stuff.
I could be convinced to make more business cards, probably? ID cards are too complicated and cost too much to make.
I’m going to try to make another Tardis like the one I made for my niece out of a non-stretchy cotton flannel, or quilt fabric. We’ll see how that works, but a successful plush will go for about $45. They’re huge.
Not that anybody likes my writing, but I will write something for you using prompts or suggestions or requests if you like.
