MIA—My First African Club Experience
Okay so jus cal me Miss Missing In Action….but really it’s not my fault. Okay so to celebrate my 1st week in Africa (Oct 31st ) I decided to go out to one of the local clubs with one of the coordinators at the Bavubuka House. I wanted to have a little fun and see the city a little bit. Tiffany was acting up and didn’t want to go…so I wasn’t really felling it but decided to go anyways. I wish I would have stayed home really if I knew what was to come.The clubs were kind of lame. I guess out here they go to three clubs or more in one night which is weird. In Cali….I can’t speak for the whole
USA….we go to one club go home at that’s it lol (laugh out loud!). So the first club was okay, when we went to the second club the same DJ from the first club we went to was there. He was playing the same exact songs like okay I guess…WACK!Apparently the DJ’s rotate and DJ at each club for a couple of hours. It wouldn’t be a problem if people didn’t go to ten clubs in one night. LOL! I probably would have had more fun if Tiffany was there…or at least that would have helped me with my problem of why I have been MIA.So when we got back to the house, I had some bad news waiting for me. Tiffany was using my computer to work n articles for the newsletter that was going out to our supporters.The bad news was that she dropped my laptop which happens to be a MAC and the screen brokeL. Man I was really upset and crying of course —-but I know it cab be replaced…the question is how longer will it take to replace it? It just really sucked that my brand new Mac that was only two weeks old was destroyed —broken screen, scratches and all L. I probably wouldn’t have been that upset if I didn’t have midterms and online classes I’m already in
Africa with limited resources. How the heck am I going to fix a Mac in Africa—there hard to fix in
America.I was sitting with Brian (one of the guys that stays at the house and teaches boxing and football/soccer to the young boys that come to the house) in the living room he was watching I Am Legend which he had paused…cause apparently everyone in the house except for me and my clubbing buddy new about my laptop situation at the house. When Brain started the movie Will Smith was working on his IMac the computer I have at home but couldn’t bring because it was to big…. ( I am praying that when I get home my wonderful siblings haven’t gone crazy and messed that up). I really am not a materialistic person but I’m a journalist and there are certain things I need to make my life easy: my computer, my digital camera, and my recorder. My life won’t end if I decided to go back to the Ice Ages but it will be a little difficult in this new media age. Two weeks old, brand new its not suppose to be broke…and I don’t want to use anyone else’s laptop/computer until mines is fixed ….I want my computer..this sucksLAnd I just figured out how to add photo’s to this blog
