Trying to come up with a fundraising plan.

So, the job search is going... okay. I think I have some promise with a laundry store that's looking for some help while one of their main workers is on maternity leave. I'm thinking about other ways to raise some funds. I was thinking about making jewelry again, selling it on etsy this instead of LiveJournal. I'm pretty good see below for a few examples of my work.

Not bad eh? At least worth 2- 5 USD plus shipping. That's what I found just off of this hard drive. I do have a bit of saving so I think it would be good to buy some more beads and things and see what happens. Michael's is ridiculously expensive so I think I will have to order from Fire Mountain Gems.

I've also started working on the design for my website. I need to get that joker back up, rebuy my domain and all of that. At first I was thinking of a whiter liter website but I think I'm going back to a my classic pale pink and navy blue. I'm trying to go for a more vintage feel. I've got a few ideas in my head but not much on photoshop/ website manager yet.

That's all for now.

Americorps update

So I got offered a position. In California. Oakland California to be exact. It's a great position though, they do a lot of great things out there. They provide refurbished computers to students, offer free tech support, create free wireless spots around the area, and do a lot technology education. Eliminating the Digital Divide as it were.

what's next? Well since I applied via CTVista I have to apply via the regular Americorps website which I did Friday. They have to go over my references and things. Somebody might call to ask so more questions and then I'll be listed as 'accepted' and I accept the offer and then I can finally learn some more about how I'm going to get over there and the things I need to do to prepare.

I already know that I need to raise some money, since Americorps has you living on pauper's wages. Trying to find a temp job.

I'm totally psyched!
