I used to be a lazy slob. Until one day I realized I hated my job and would rather die than continue. So I set a goal, went back to school (parttime, because you need an income always). It was such a hectic time, I didn't get to spent any time with my wife and kids,, but after a year and a half I got a job at the college I was studying. Now they pay for my bachelor and I even get time to study during working hours. It feels like I have so much free time now that I started a duolingo course and an online programming course out of boredom. The lazy slob I used to be, would've definitely celebrated the free time with couch time, but I guess I've developed a taste for studying now. I barely recognize myself sometimes and it makes me both scared and proud.
