Sputnik Sweetheart

Written By James

Just two lumps of metal roaming around the planet, attracting one another like a magnet, traveling and chasing one another.

Sometimes chasing you, I feel closer. Yet our space differs. Our commands and our governments are incompatible. But I see you in different hemispheres. Opposite of me.

Sometimes you crossed my route, the smell of metal you left behind marks the satellite that you are of. Often time, we’re so close, that we almost touched our compartments, makes me wish that I have a hand that could hold us together.

Maybe we could collide, and we could still roam the space together, like two lumps of metal joining one another and being lost in the universe forever.

Our mission is to ensure that you have a quality University experience through representation, support and activities.

We are here to help you make the most of your time at Lincolnyou’ve got some amazing opportunities ahead of you so, study hard, get out there and experience something new!

Wishing you an excellent O’Week, the best for the new year ahead and introducing myself as the General Manager of LUSA.

Having studied at Lincoln quite some time ago now, I find myself back on the grounds of what is undoubtably the very best University - ( I say without any bias of course). It’s excellent to back on campus and to be of service to Lincoln students. You’ll find me at the LUSA office most anytime and you’re welcome to introduce yourself. Climbing and skiing are my go-to’s for recreation and before the recent repair of some broken parts, it used to include trail running.

Points of possible interest: I was very fortunate to have lived and worked in Nepal with my family including during the earthquakes of 2015, I’ve completed the Everest Marathon with a start line altitude of 5164 metres at Gorak Shep and a finish line altitude of 3440 metres at Namche Bazaar, and I’m very pleased to say I got to see The Pixies in concert late last year.

Welcome to all new students, and welcome back to all returning students.
