Fuck, my cock is REALLY ITCHY. Anyway, I have not blogged properly since Christmas. So much to say! But right now, I'm tired. All I can say is this weekend has been hugely shit, but it ended up on a humbling note. Not long after handover today, I got a call from security. A student had flown all the way from Nigeria without a room allocated or any idea where to go. He got a taxi from town to the main campus, but there was obviously no-one there as it was a Sunday night. Luckily there was a non-student versus student footy match being played on the astroturf, so he approached them. Two very nice lads brought him here. I managed to sort him a room for tonight and hopefully permanently. He said his visa only came through Friday afternoon (night here) so was unable to book a room. I asked what brought him to Derby, and he was so excited about the prospect about studying in the U.K., and the size of the school was blowing his mind. Alex, one of the guys who brought him over, works with Derby's homeless. I got his number, I'll call it sometime. What an amazing coincidence, and an experience overall that is some hearty food for thought.
In other news, the United Nations EP still fucking smokes.

aww im so glad you were able to find the guy somewhere decent to stay and i hppe hes able to still live there can you keep us posted please?
An amazing thing that he has done. Arriving here with no room and I think the two people who helped him are very nice too. It reminds you there are good people in the world and hopefully he can stay at the halls. He has obviously made such an effort and appreciates the opportunity. Everybody should learn to be as grateful for what they have. I would not have liked the thought of him not having somewhere to rest his head. I'm happy you could get him a room.
Yeah, he's staying here now!
