I woke up sore today. Muscles aching, pain all the way down into my ankles, which is almost laughable in itself. I am good for overdoing it for days at a time until I hit exhaustion, and that is exactly what I have done again. My whole body hurts, but in a way, it has made today a good day for rest, for slowing down, and for catching up on some things I needed to do for the internship. Nothing major, but I wanted to put thought into a few things for it. Unfortunately, I have struggled to concentrate…
