Homeless wisdom

Queen's university is very open-minded. I like all the crazy and funny things you can find around like this pavement sausage or the CS Lewis reading room.

Sausage... Who knows what is it good for :D

Since first day I came to Belfast I´m nearly every day around our perfect library. It´s really cool place and there is even nice café. And every day there is one special guest. I would call him a habitue, permanent piece of inventory. I don´t know his name, but he is homeless probably. Smells according to it, looks according to it and always comes with 3 or 4 plastic bags full of secret stuff. He reads books. Everytime he has some giant book on the table in front of him. I think so far I saw him only with title Modern Pharmacy. The book looks quite new.
I was expecting somebody will tell him to leave university buildings but everybody looks just fine with him being there. Students go to discuss with him, people passing by are telling him "hi". I was spending in the same room quite some time when I didn´t have internet at my accommodation. And I didn´t like his presence much, especially when somebody opened the café´s door and draft took his piss smell to my nose.
I don´t know much what to think about it. Is he some professor of sociology doing creepy experiment? Or is he university´s mascot? Because if he´s not from university, where did he get the book? I would go ask him, but I´m starting to think I´m oversensitive for smells. The 2 houses I lived here before were both in a way smelly. University was first few days smelly to me too because of this guy and now I´m happy if I can just breathe freely and sniff around with joy. So I´m sorry, but his identity will probably stay hidden to us. But I ask you - if you know backgroud behind all of this, don´t be afraid to comment! On the other hand, education is handy for everybody. And homeless people could have lots of time for studying.

Motto of the day: It´s never too bad time to study.
