so today I started my master's in computer science. now I'm still working full-time as a software engineer. and even though this program is part-time and remote, I'm still a little nervous. on top of this I've also decided to run a marathon recently, so that definitely isn't helping there. between meeting class project deadlines, deliverables for work, and long runs training for my marathon, it looks like I'll have to lean into my time management skills more than ever. and yeah, this doesn't even include all the other roles I play in my life, being a brother and uncle, boyfriend, a son and a friend. so, why am I doing this? well, not only do I want to grow from a technical standpoint, but I wanna grow overall I wanna create bigger challenges for myself, keep pushing and keep striving to be better than I was yesterday.
