Quick! What's a fast way to get 2k that doesn't involve selling my kidney???
I'd be very, very, very much obliged.
I am so screwed right now......

Err, take care of neighbour's pets while selling lemonade and washing cars and being a street performer all at the same time?
Or rob a bank? Wear a Dalek voice-changer helmet.

Borrow money from family? OR do what I'm going to do once I get home. Start an "Send Victoria to College Foundation" I may start a website. Or I will just make a jar and ask people when ever I can.

I'll see an article in the paper one day: 'Canadian student disguised as an exterminating pepper-pot robs bank'

You could always give plasma. I'm told it's actually not as bad as it sounds.

Blah, I do donate blood from time to time, though I usually end up getting all queasy after, but they don't pay you for it in Canada. At least, I've never been paid for it... though I have been given a few free donuts...

I don't think anyone gets paid for donating blood. Though I could be wrong, as I've never actually donated blood.

register yourself as a charity and start collecting money from strangers.

I'm sorry to hear this cp. No advice from me, since I didn't solve that particular problem in my own case. Taking time off to work to build up the money?
Kit-- Selling blood is a tried and true survival method for the poor, at least over here. Everything's a commodity, didn't you know that?

SO, using my precious internet time to let you all know that I settled that mess with the adminstration people and I don't have to sell a kidney or anything other vital body parts/fluids for that matter.
And life was good.

I don't have to sell a kidney or anything other vital body parts/fluids for that matter. I'm very glad to hear that, and I hope all is well for you in the future. I didn't chime in on this thread earlier because, well, I'm probably the last person anyone should ask for any real-life advice on anything. I feel strangely privileged, when I hear about things like this. You see, I'm (just about) old enough to remember a strange, magical time and space when education was regarded as a right rather than a commodity and (get this, kids!) the actual government used to pay (not lend!) people actual money to attend university. What was this Krazy Kommie Utopia? I hear you ask - well, it was Britain in the mid-90s, and Mr Major and Mr Blair soon put a stop to that kind of wishy-washy nonsense. When they introduced tuition fees in this country, I was one of those unwashed loony lefty types who marched in protest against them - nobody listened, of course.

You see, the reason for tution fees is one of the many reasons why I want to go to school in The Netherlands. I will have to pay for it but if I pass the course I get your money back. Which than can go to the next classes. To me, that is fair.

Street beg. It's fun. (Well... I don't technically BEG, seeing as I play music... but it's the same idea.) In fact... tell people that you're raising money for a goldfish acupuncture clinic or something. The more creative the excuse, the more likely it is they'll fork over money.

That's a very frustrating statement considering my money situation. You play music, you don't beg, but if I thought you did...
