America and Stuff Like That...

So in highschool, certain grades have an option to go on a trip to either, the USA, England or the Swiss Alps. I have chosen to view the lovely east coast :) New York, D.C., New Jersey, Boston, Chicago and Pensilvania here I come!!!!!!!! Super excited for the "free time days" that i'll be getting in NY (I think i might cry if i see CBGBs in real life!)
Im for sure going on the trip seeing as how my parents have agreed to pay for half.... there's just one little delema.... I have to come up with the other half of the trip....Thats a lot of moola (about $1, 500) so ya any cool ideas on how i can fundrais enough money to visit lovely little America down south would be awesome... oh and if you live near the east coast, let me know what kinda fun stuff there is to do down there in the spring time

Hugs and ki$$e$!
