    green то can be omitted.
    Also consider using собираюсь instead of намереваюсь. It's more fluent this way.
    Red ! is optional either
    ненавижу means different thing in Russian.
    Не гони волну, вполне употребляется в таких ситуациях.
    Send me a PM if you need me.

    "Either" only goes with negatives.

    "Is... too" or "Isn't... either".
    Thank you

    Interesting that you say this. My interpreter said she was a medical doctor.
    Я взял палку и нож, мелки и бумагу и направился к холмам.

    I think this list is very true still for Russians who now live in the US. Many of the people I've met were architects, engineers, etc. but now they don't do anything close to what they did... However, that could also be because it is hard to have their degrees translated. So I've been told.
