Somehow talk your way into a summer research project of some kind, if your uni runs those. Attach yourself to a nice lecturer and ask to be their labmonkey. Make sure it's in January.
Or get a summer job and act very determined to earn money. Make up something big and impressive that you're saving up for. Emphasise how important it is to you that you take this step towards financial independence.
This is my contribution, as I couldn't lift a sledgehammer for shit :D
I can't do either, I would probably break whatever reseach project or lab(and our lecturers really suck) that I went for and am not even sure if they have them And I can't do the money thing cause he gives us $500 a month so we don't work.....I wish you could lift a sledge hammer!
I looked it up on the net...but I am pretty sure it says something like that in the extras of the lord of the rings but I think there are exceptions to the rule although I am not sure what they are....except possibly legal gardian or private residence...
Keep it simple, but sound exasperated and worried and stressed.
Tell him you're not comfortable for being away for that length of time, and while you would like to see New Zealand you simply can't, because you have too many commitments here - birthdays of friends you simply have to attend (there aren't any in Jan, I don't think, but he doesn't know that), preperations for your second year of uni including prereadings, timetables and enrollments because they're all around that time and you're taking it very seriously, helping Alice and Anna get ready for their life-changing move to Sydney (they're very close friends of yours and you want to be available to support and help them). Indoor soccer (well, you do occasionally) needs you for the team to be able to play (kinda), and besides its ridiculously horrible to leave your mother (who could fall ill) home alone for an entire month. Plus, you were hoping to use the time to work as hard as you can to earn money towards supporting yourself (emphasis this, so he can't just give you some)
( ... )
But I don't want to hurt his feelings.....however I am thinking something along those lines(especially the uni stuffs) and then asking if I can go for a couple of weeks(I was thinking like a week and half but have it include 2 weekends) instead so that I could still see him....would that work????would you disown me?
