There's only so much you can learn in one place indeed
Well, that's it. I've had enough, alright. I don't think I should be putting up with this shit. I mean, when it certainly becomes clear that you have no chance at all to succeed in any way, should you wait some more or should you move to the next thing? I decided to move to the next thing, not necessarily being the thing that I really want, but at least I won't be stagnated any more. Having no money and no place to go, what do you normally do? You come back to the familiar place, even if it's for a determined period of time while you get yourself together, get your thoughts straight and plan the next move.
I've become familiar with unfamiliar faces and the mere thought that I'll be seeing familiar faces again kinda scare me. I'm terrified, actually, but I see no other way out. Seriously. To be honest I feel this urge to recharge my batteries because I've been running on the 10% level for a long time and the machine is kinda giving up. I think I'll go mad if I continue like this and in order to preserve the drop of sanity that I still have I need to get out of here badly.
Who am I kidding? I've never cared for these people here, never liked them, tried to engage but that proved to be the hardest task of my life. I'm not gonna spend my money on these pricks any longer, that's enough.
Last week, on my way home from morning lesson at Electrolux, as I was waiting for the traffic lights turn green to me, I saw Damian in a van. The first Damian, the one I met when I'd just gotten here in February. I saw that he saw me, but I didn't turn my head as he did, I was wearing my shades. After all these months I saw him again. I don't know if he's living far away now, because these vans they usually cover the outskirts of the city. But then he was gone, and I started to think about those days when I was discovering things here ad everything was new and strange to me.
Last week I also did some proofreading work for one of my students. She's written a series of apartment descriptions and she handed to me to see if everything was ok. In those descriptions there were a lot of tips on bars and restaurants and places to go that I've been enjoying these last couple of days. You know, all those months I've never had a companionship to go explore these places. I found this cafe in which the pint is 5.50 zlotych (compared to the average price of 7.50) and tea for 3.50 zlote (in some places the price reaches up to 7 zlotych!).
I'm figuring I'll be out of here within ten days. So I'll see the places I haven't seen during my stay here. Not that there's plenty of options, but I won't do the same thing I did in London.
Well, there's always the possibility of coming back... to London, obviously.
