Quick summary of last week
This has been a rollercoaster of a week, thus the lack of updates. Here it is in brief. I lost $500 in work clothes to a bleach accident, lost 320GB of backed up memory to a freak accident, found a new hairdresser that does an amazing job and is willing to trim my beard, and booked an impromptu flight to Singapore in November to watch JAM Project

A thirty-year-old guy came over to the school to be tutored in formal essay construction. He's been out of school for eight years, so I'm guessing it atrophied, and he's looking to relearn and retain the knowledge. Came up against the wall because, after eight years, he decided to go back and do his Masters finally in History.
The real rub, though, and what makes him so interesting, is that he has Aspergers. So for my mentor and I, he's a fascinating case study because his being there allows us an insight of what our current Aspergers case will be like in over ten years. They have the same habits, the same problems in expressing logical process, the same mental ticks and issues. Even the same interest (History). The only difference is that this guy very openly discusses his condition, whereas I think Tim has been trained to not even mention it.
THEY EVEN DRESS THE SAME.
But it's nice. I don't have to worry so much about Tim; I don't often worry about him, but now I can put the small doubts completely out of my mind; he'll be fine.
Also? Totally don't envy you this whole having in-laws situation. It sounds like such a hassle. Looking forward to dinner when I'm 35! :3
