Today I just had my board of review for the rank of Eagle Scout. I also passed, meaning I'm now an Eagle Scout. I'm glad that I finally earned it since I've been working towards it since elementary school. This year has been good to me so far. My parents finally know about me, I got a week out of school due to snow, and I earned the highest rank of Scouting. I hope my year stays this way since I have a history of becoming so much of a downer that my parents don't want to be around me all the time. Now I find myself actually smiling naturally for the first time since my diagnosis with autism and put on medications that "turned off" my conscious state of mind and emotions. (I can't remember a lot of my childhood because of the meds.) In other news, I'm still grounded from my computer until tomorrow afternoon.
