I've started to have anxiety dreams about blowing my alarm and waking up after work has already started on my first day (I don't begin for another week).

Knock this shit out. It's going to burn you out. Summer assignments are hard because you gotta make them up.

Today was intense. My couch feels so good right now.

Actually it wasn't intense at all, it was just a lot of info in one day.
