I, the European scholar - Day 2

I've got glasses, finally. I've been planning for this since that time, more than two years ago, when the doctor in France didn't want to give me the health certificate for work because of the state of my eyes. As I've checked them now, it seems to be the same problem I had since I was twenty; perhaps I needed glasses all my life, but always preferred to see the world with my own eyes. 
I've submitted yet another article, this time for Montenegro. I'm still learning, making experiments, getting used to my English. I follow closely the ranking, and prepare to switch to SCImago Q1 - Q2 quartile exclusively. But for the time being, I'm still attached to the idea of this global exploration, of penetrating a variety of academic contexts. I regret I didn't do this when I was younger. I had time for this. Why did I stick to all those silly Polish journals? But of course, it is something that cannot be undone. Never mind. I still have time. And to my considerable surprise, Q1 - Q2 quartiles include a couple of journals in such places as Manilla, Philippines. Pity they have virtually no journal in the Middle East. The ranking, by the way, seems very incomplete, at least as referred to ERIH+ listings, and it wouldn't be such a reasonable professional strategy to treat is as an absolute indicator. 
I start to miss Holland. I feel like immersed is some sort of crippling, viscous reality, sticking to my past, immobilised. Some things still need digesting, but I look forward to opening a new chapter. In a lower quartile.
