Last night, I stayed up until 4:30 AM. Not studying or working on my thesis, but taking a boating safety course and thereby obtaining a federal Pleasure Craft Operator Card. The kicker is, I don't own a boat. But now, if I ever do, I'll be licensed to use it!
This is my third federal licence. In 2020, I obtained a drone licence, and then in 2023 I got an amateur radio licence. Next up will be the ROC(M) (maritime radio licence) so that I can use the hypothetical boat's VHF radio.
