My Roommate

In America, every college student who lives in University dorms has to share their room with another student. The rooms aren't exactly massive so this can be a pretty uncomfortable experience if you and you roommate aren't best buddies.

My roommate is a kid called Nnamdi, he's from Nigeria via Queens, and on the whole he's not a bad kid. For the past 6 weeks or so he has been pledging Malik, the black military fraternity so the most I've seen of him in all that time is the occasional glimpse of tall black guy with a mask on marching round campus.

He's finished pledging now and is back in the room, and I have a number of issues with this. Firstly, he stinks. I mean he smells worse than Pakka. I have to keep the window and door open the whole time he's in the room.

Secondly, I cannot fucking sleep anymore. I'm a troubled sleeper at the best of times, so when I want to go to bed at 2am, but my roommate stays up using his computer till 5... I have no hope. Then when he finally goes to bed, he snores loud enough to wake me up despite my earplugs.

I'd carry on, but I don't want to sound like a whinging idiot.

  • Haha how lovely. I never really had anything against the lad (except for the smell obviously), so good on him.

  • What?

    I don't remember telling a story like that, so if I did, I probably made it up. Like that time I was on the London Underground...

  • ...and lightning struck the train and you saw yourself on the TV.

    Yes come to think of it i should take these stories with a pinch of salt.

    Was great to talk on webcam the other day - we finished the work in the end btw
