Useless

It's a terrible day and I haven't even got to midday yet...

I rode a bus for 40 minutes to get to my new university for the first lessons. I wanted to start IT there because there's no job for chemists (and even if there is, M.Sc. in chemistry earns not much more than a minimum wage which is 1,500 PLN, this is gross income, not counting any taxes). I know there's a need for IT specialists in England from countries from which there are a lot of immigrants. That means Poland is one of these countries.

However, as I arrived at the university I saw that almost all people already have student record books which seemed weird to me. Well, to cut the crap... It turned out that not enough people had come for IT starting in summer semester (only 9 people). And thus the university decided to merge this group of 9 people with the already existing 1st year that started in October '11. This means I'm behind and I have 1 year to catch up and pass all exams from the semester I "missed". Too bad nobody informed me on Saturday that this is what happens and I'm pretty sure they knew by that time they wouldn't start a fresh year but merge it with the already existing year.

I would have to pass exams in Mathematical Analysis, Physics, Ethics, Basics of Programming, and English (the only thing presenting no problems) + ongoing subjects. That's too much for me. I used to be a very smart and catchy student, I loved maths, it was like I could see both in algebra and geometry things others couldn't so fast I could solve any problem. But I've lost this at some point during my benzodiazepine addiction.

So I'm lost generally in all fields of life. It's hard to get a legal job in the UK in low paying market segments and to get a high paying legal one must have proper papers. Also, women don't fall for guys who have no future because they don't have a degree and thus they can't find a good paying job. I don't really know what to do. Loneliness has been killing me for a long time now. I didn't have success in finding any job last time I was in England. Sure it wasn't the best moment because it was in December but with my education and job experience (legal - none) frankly I don't think it's going to be better if I show up in May in London.

I guess it'd be best if I got anything strong and shot up for the last time saving my mum problems with helping me with money all the time and I would put an end to my suffering finally. I'm a wreck mentally. I tried to taper down clonazepam from 6mg to 4mg. No, I have had to take more today again, damn it. It's all useless. I'm useless.
 
you can do what my papa did. merchant marines. then he landed in Australia and married a polish/aussie girl who's parents ran a boarding house for polish sailors. 2 generations and 60 years later there was a baby chugs. Sure things have changed since the 1920s but come on you live in a far connected planet.

on a serious note. your not a failure for not tappering down down properly. Just get back on, stick to the plan. i'm doing the same thing right now but with heroin and hey its not easy but i'm not going to beat myself up. The fact is that shit is stacked against you from day one. Were you ever taught how to to drug detox at school? nup. Did you ever get help to understand the emotional reasons that drive you to addiction? Nup. Does society give a fuck? nup.

Your doing an awesome job and may I just add that your written english is pretty damn good. i've worked with some Poles and they were earning great money and yet had atrocious english skills.

Don't limit your horizon. Come to NZ or Australia. Lots of work. Hell if you do a trade you can work in the mines. With several trade certificates you can within a year or two be earning 20,000 to 25, 000 PLN a month in those jobs. fuck man, i do a bullshit office job (systems analyst) and am earning around 20,000 PLN a month. and i have never gone to uni or gotten a qualification. Look up 457 Visa on the australian government site. big mines are now allowed to import workers

oh and the best about this country. our winters don't get any colder then 10c (on average).

anyway some large animal is urinating outside my window, from the urine/flow sound it must have dick the diameter of a fire hose. Normally that sort of thing doesn't bother me but considering its 11pm something is going on. i must go now.
