I've been keeping a bit of a low profile on some of my recent happenings, since the reality hits me slow. But, I'd like to share two fairly significant news that have happened in my life.
Firstly, during Model Expo last month my LUG (Lego User Group) had its annual meeting and I attended the first time. Two months prior my LUG's Ambassador was offering his position away, and I had applied as interested. So, during the meeting when that was handled I was promoted to the position of LUG Ambassador! The position includes communicating with Lego and other LUGs and some other responsibilities, but I'm pretty excited to get started once the transfer is complete. My predecessor (who is Pate-Keetongu btw) still needs to do the required paperwork, but he'll be instructing me with the duties eventually to get me adjusted.
Second news. I was actually a bit cautious on this one for the last month or two, due to how it ended a year ago. But...
The miracle has returned. Against all the odds my mother has once more become pregnant, for real this time.
Like I mentioned a year ago, pregnancy should be impossible for her for reasons. No doubt about it this time, there's an estimate and an ultrasound picture, both of which have clicked my reality nerve. I'm finally becoming an older brother. By 23 years... That's going to be a weird family dynamic. But who cares, a new family member is coming. 
You guys have a good summer.

Changes spawn changes
Hello everyone, For the past year or so it's been evident that the Bionicle community has been gradually shifting away from Deviantart, as the submission activity in the BionicleMOCersLeague is at a critical lull. At the same time the recent site update has made submission watching very difficult for us admins. For those who are still sticking around, for your (and our) convenience, we have decided to remove our judging system, meaning any submissions here forth will be accepted automatically. To balance the lifted restrictions, we will be lowering the submission limit to 3 gallery submissions per day to prevent flooding. The admins will also keep control of the Featured folder, which will be accessible to trusted Contributors as well. BML's goal from the start was to be a Deviantart hub for high quality bionicle mocs, and to provide a place for bio-mocers on the site to show their creations to a like-minded audience. While the restrictions are technically removed, we put our faith
Mental evaluation complete
Continuing from my previous journals, it's been about half a year now. I've been meeting a psychiatrist now and then throughout this autumn (5-7 times, I didn't count) and have worked through questionnaires with them to evaluate whether I have any mental conditions. There were questionnaires on autism, depression and ADHD. My session today was the last one, where we talked about the results.
Long story short, I have autistic properties, but, due to having improved the more problematic symptoms in the past, they're not severe enough to be defined as Asperger's or any other condition. That essentially makes me a functional person with some min
Reassessing phase two (And game contest)
(If you're not yet on track, read my two previous journals)
So, been a while but I finally met the psychiatrist. I was initially meant to meet them in late February, but got sick the day I was supposed to meet them. The reappointment was finally two days ago.
Anywho, not much to update, we talked to lay ground on my suspicions of autism and went through the questionnaires I had to answer in advance. Symptoms, behavior and so on. I'm essentially in for at least 5 future sessions where my mental state is evaluated.
I've calmed down since that first rush of insecurity last fall. Though I no longer feel getting a diagnosis is as necessary now,
Reassessing continues
Just a little update with how things are developing.
If you're out of the loop, I'm talking about this:
Anyway...
I first met the school psychologist and we talked for a good hour about my situation. Unfortunately the help she could offer was more related to studying conditions, in that she could advice teachers about my situation and whatnot. As I have hardly any on-site studying anymore, this wasn't much of a help. We did talk about getting a diagnosis for my Asperger's, and she adviced me to start at the local doctor if I want to start the process.
I later met my study advisor and the head of my major. Again, we talked about my situati
