It's been a while....

It's been a while since I've updated this blog. It's also been eons since I did a YouTube video detailing my autism and whatnot. But that will be for another time, as a couple of exciting things are coming my way.

On Tuesday, I start my two month long internship at Ammann & Whitney, the engineering firm where my uncle is president and CEO of. During a visit to his office late in December, my uncle and I had a very lovely idea of working there this summer. A couple of phone calls later, some arrangements and paperwork, and I was (two days ago) bound for New York City on the southbound Adirondack. Since then, I have settled into my grandmother's almost deserted home in Queens, preparing to start work.

The eight weeks are going to be a serious learning curve for me. I have never before ever handled my own affairs before. I can't even cook to save my life. But I look at it differently in some ways. I'm a Russian-American, and Russians in general are known for playing catch up very well.

Last night I had a dream. It was weird, and if it weren't for the combination of my alarm clock and my phone going off, I would have probably freaked out in my sleep. I was dreaming that I was in an upper division class of Dr. Smith's in Potsdam, and this girl was sitting in front of me in the class. And behold, she was calling me a "dirtbag" in a loud whisper. I get so aggitated that I leave the room and flip out, and get suspended. That's why it's a dream. It would never happen in real life, but heck, it scared the heck out of me in my dream.

But enough moaning about spilled milk, as it's time to keep moving forward!
