1.6 MILLION shillings (laptop update)
1.6 million Ugandan Shillings that not a lot really—-yes it is that’s the amount of money it would cost to fix my laptop out here in
Uganda. 1.6 million shillings which is about $1,300 U.S. dollars is just about the cost of the laptop in
America with the student discount.1.6 million shillings is the quote we got from the Apple store here in
Kampala, Uganda that we got on Nov 1st the day after the laptop broke. At the time I was still upset I was suppose to start teaching today.Before we went to check the price to fix the laptop we met up with this guy names Isaac. He works in entertainment and use to live in Glendale (C.A.) so that was cool…we talked about Say It Loud! Being that it is the only African American newspaper in the San Fernando Valley and
Glendale is a part of the SFV. Since we barely made it to Africa Tiffany and I were thinking about getting a side job while we were here in
Uganda. Getting a job is not something I was trying to do here but I have to keep it real I have bills, and student loans to pay back….(if only I had a benefactor or a really rich boyfriends;-) ). The guys at the house told us this other girl that was there volunteering made two commercials and one video. They said she got paid well…enough to buy a new laptop, or fix one!We’ll see what happens. I was waiting to get back home to be in America’s Next Top Model, but if I become
Africa’s Next Top Model that works for me to! That would be so cool to day I got my start in
Africa….that’s what’s up. “You Wanna Be On Top?!”
