Long Shot Of That Jumping Sign~♫

So; I was told the 5TH Museum Studies course won't be paid for as I'm not in paid employment in the field. The course is Interpretation I: Public Programming.

I would need around $350.00CAD plus meals and bus/taxis (I'll be paying for registration with my GST in April). It's being held May 25-26, 2018.

Do you lot think it's viable to do crowdfunding? I'm submitting an application to the Canadian Museum Association for a bursary...but again not being in paid employment I will likely not get it.

I would write a proper written proposal as I have for my proposals prior, but I'm not sure it's even viable to try.

As some know I am enrolled in a Museum Studies diploma program. They work as: Reading, 2 classroom days, then up to 4 weeks to complete several homework sections. Anyway I had the final 1ST year course on November 2ND-3RD. It went alright! I had a hard time staying awake for parts because of my body fighting osteomyelitis**, but I was happy to learn. Anyway at the end of the 2ND day the instructors gave us the homework assignment questions. ...And most of them pertained to evaluating employees & financial details of your organisation you're senior staff for. Meaning a chunk of us could not answer most of them since we are individual attendees or students just starting a career path. The instructors apologised and said they'd provide alternative questions by that Monday. I was pissed because registration ended in August so they could of looked at their attendee lists to see peoples' organisations or lack of. But it was only going to be a couple days, and it wasn't due until December 1ST, so I got back, relaxed, and figured I'd start work on them as soon as I received them! ( Read more... )

**Awhile ago I had surgery to remove tori mandibulares (bone growths in my mouth). After that I seemed to have an increase in what my dentist & I dismissed as TMD pain. It had never been that bad before but would come in spurts then be fine again. The swelling also was bad during these spells and I went to outpatients a few times due to it not responding to my medication. Anyway in April I had incredible pain that radiated throughout my jaw bone. ( Read more... )
