so, once upon a time, i desided to get into a drug trade. i think watching "breaking bad" had a lot to with that. i found a meth recipe on-line. thus i hit hard my chemistry books with some additional tutoring. and came up with a business plan to ensure that i can maintain a healthy profit margin. after that came the most difficult part - execution. i will not bore with details, mostly to avoid self-incrimination, but i shall mention that not everything happened as planned. some of my friends and i experienced highs and lows of the illigal drug trade. we've met new people, lost some of the team. and most importantly - we've made a lot of money. unfortunately i need to legalize this huge pile of cash that we got laying around, so now we are working on a new plan. we are thinking about getting into money laundering bussiness and moving to london. therefore, here i'm, working on my english skills.
