Going Away to College!

I’ve been accepted to California College of the Arts undergraduate photography program, I’ll begin my studies January 2011 in beautiful Oakland California. I am asking for help raising relocation expenses. I need to obtain rent, (first/last/deposit+pet deposit), travel from Seattle to Oakland, as well as initial school supplies and books in addition to basic personal needs like food.

Presently I’m a full time student at Shoreline Community College, working my but off to do well. Pulling straight A’s is a job that requires overtime, I’ve found that working while in school takes away from my studies too much and effects my performance. Managing a very tight budget I’m able to live on financial aid alone, which in all honesty gives me a lot more time for school work (as there is no spare cashola for fun). Moreover, after breaking 3 bones in ’06 I am unable to stand for more than an hour, any kind of physical work is not an option for me.

Usually fiercely independent, here I’ve met my match. Money. I’ve got about six months to sell everything I own and make an active effort to save every penny that crosses my path. I’m also asking you to chip in, as every little bit will help.

I thank you in advance for considering a donation.

between classes, just had my last final exam – about to go into animation to show the marshmallow test. I have about an hour… not enough time to go home – I’ve already gone to lunch, I’m bored, and it’s raining, so I can’t just go hang out in the sunshine or anything cuz we don’t have any.

I quit my job today =( I don’t have it in me to standing on a cement floor all day (once a week) it hurts my foot, leg and back too much and the stores new location has stairs to-boot…yesterday I bailed down the stairs and hurt myself bad enough that I’m having more trouble walking. boo. Falling down the stairs is just bad luck. That I can’t stand or walk on cement for more than an hour has everything to do with it. The new location is 50 times more busy than the old location, and it’s aggressive retail floor tending – it’s just too much. Of course I considered that I’ll have to come up with some other mullah stream. I’m now available on Saturdays to work all the second shooter gigs I’ve been offered and had to turn down – so that’s something. We’ll see how I do with that. Hopefully standing on grass will be more manageable than standing on concrete.
