Four days until I take a four hour car ride to spend the next four weeks learning a new trade only to spend the four weeks after that paired up with a trainer for hands-on, real-world experience. I want to be excited about this and I sort of am. I'm also a little terrified. I really need this to work out. I need something to work out, anyway, so it might as well be this.
I'm incredibly brave and stupid for doing this. I know it takes equal amounts of those character traits to allow someone to just suddenly decide to abandon one career path for a completely new one - one I have absolutely no experience or working knowledge of, even. Well, I have been studying a little so that's not entirely true. The things I can tell you about air pressure, aerodynamics, fuel efficiency, evasive maneuvers, and general automechanics would blow your damn mind considering I didn't care enough about any of that to know even the most basic elements of those topics two weeks ago. I simply absorb and regurgitate information like this, but only if it interests me and I care to do so. Since this might be my life for awhile, I might as well be competent and excessively knowledgeable.
