Holy cow I am so tired. I have been working all day. My alarm went off at 7:30 this morning. I was so tired that I just kept hitting the snooze button. I think once when I tried to hit snooze I accidently turned the alarm off, because I woke up at 8:30. I got up and showered real quick. I was running late so I didn’t have time for breakfast.

I got to my internship about 15 minutes late (9:15 a.m.). I was starving by 10:00 and I started asking my coworkers if they wanted to get lunch. Of course no one wanted to. So I had to go to lunch all by myself. I ate alone and grabbed one of my coworkers something to go. After lunch we were working on how to get more traffic to our client’s website. It was pretty interesting.

I left the internship at and had to go straight to work. When I got there Brittany asked me if I would cover her shift on Sunday morning. I wanted to, but I already work Sunday night, and I didn’t really want to work a double. I finally got home at midnight. It was such a long day.
