After what may have been my first actually productive week in my entire life, I have suffered a major setback. I have a huge liability, and I do not know how to eliminate it without jeopardizing most of the systems I cannot do without at this juncture, but inaction will produce the same disruption or worse.
Some of my plans are also in need of re-calibration. For instance, working with the idea of
getting a degree in order to, borrowing from BRUTE's words, become a highly desired immigrant, I had assumed I could do that for free by studying in a federal institution, but I forgot about their schedules—taking classes in the morning
and the afternoon would inviabilize holding a job in parallel.
I have considered some ways of turning the above into a source of opportunities, but I would have to change my entire project; nevertheless, although the road would be harder, I believe that the reward would be far greater over the long haul than that of what I previously had in mind. I have also had some interesting ideas about how to deal with what I currently perceive to be far more relevant concerns.
But I have more pressing concerns at the moment, beginning with establishing some income streams in order to get my degree without incurring any debt—rather being able to
invest in the meantime. Being approved in the government admission exam would take me a long way towards that goal, and I have but a few more months to prepare. I will see how things go from here.

@Jason: Then again, I would not know about that.
