Restarting after 30 isn’t a fresh start, it’s a slow transition. Keep your job, build skills in parallel, reuse your experience, and accept discomfort. Most people fail by rushing. Consistency beats intensity.

mk30School/work update:
classes ended in may, and i just submitted my first draft septic design to the engineer that i'm interning with 🥹
i don't know if i did it right, but at least i did it in a fairly timely manner.
I was struggling with LibreCAD the entire time. during classes, I had a loaner windows PC from the school that was pre-loaded with AutoCAD. all of our instruction was in AutoCAD. But now that's gone, so i'm getting used to LibreCAD. I still haven't figured out how to do like a layout for print, with titles and a little scale annotation on the bottom 🤔
anyway, it feels nice to be working in the realm of physical things. i think that was maybe one of the (many!) things that i found frustrating about software: there was no referent in the real world. nothing i could hang my hat on. and i couldn't keep all the abstractions in my head 😖 . with these septic designs, it's like "ok, i drew the design for that part, what's next? ok i need to do the drawing for this part. what do i need to know in order to do that?" i dunno. maybe it'll get harder, but so far it seems easier for my particular brain.
As a bonus, here's a photo from the location where the septic is going to go. We went out there yesterday to do a soil percolation test.
