Potential bad impression?

Just now realizing that after I accepted my offer, I failed to respond to two e-mails from partners at the firm where I accepted my offer. They were run-of-the-mill congratulations on accepting your offer e-mails, and I completely missed responding to them. Kind of freaking out that this has put my at a disadvantage going into the summer because there is an expectation for summers to be as enthusiastic as possible? I know this sounds pretty ridiculous, b i'm not really sure if i'm looking way too much into this and I would appreciate some advice!

Let it go. There is no chance they’ll remember this or hold it against you. And it’d be weirder to get a thank you email that long after the original email.

Be enthusiastic and personable when you start.

These partners receive hundreds of emails a day. Depends on office size, but it's very likely they've forgotten about it. It's weirder to respond this late.

Just be enthusiastic when you show up; actions matter more than words.

Thank you all. I knew I was probably looking into it too much, and I will be sure to show my appreciation/excitement for receiving the opportunity to work at the firm once i arrive this summer.
