The "Send Caroline to Grad School" Fund

Ok, so I can start by updating on my slow progress with resolutions.

I'm about a third of the way through a book and two thirds through another, have study French once, worked out four times, and have eaten 5 servings of fruits and veggies 16 days. I have also applied to one scholarship and am in the middle of applying for another.

I am really excited about heading to Scotland next year, but I am a bit worried about money. There aren't as many scholarships out there for grad school as there are for undergraduate, so I am proposing making my own "fund."

Basically what this entails is you guys supporting me! I am not asking for you to give me money, I want to earn it. So I can do odd jobs for you all, and you can pay me whatever you think is appropriate for what I have done. My first supporter is my sister, I've babysat for her twice. Including a bit of tip money from work my total is $123 so far. Not bad!

These odd jobs could be pretty much anything! I will tutor Spanish, paint a picture, a picture frame or a shelf (or pretty much anything else paintable!), make you a scrapbook, babysit, dog sit, take old books, magazines, cds and movies to half price books for you and you can give me whatever the total payout is. I can't think of much else but if you think of something, tell me and I'll see what I can do.

I know the economy is bad right now, but really every dollar will make a difference. I have some money saved but I don't want to have to take out a huge sum in student loans, so earning some extra money and getting scholarship money will be key.

Thanks in advance to anyone who supports me (and to Michele who already has!)
