Never have I needed a Friday as much as today! I‘m sooooo tired 😴 but also, really happy, excited and motivated by my new internship. Everything is going well, I just need to get used to working again. 😅

I‘m looking forward to a weekend of no plans, other than sleeping, eating and reading. I‘m 50 pages into this very hyped Danish book, and I‘m hoping to finish it today, unless I fall asleep 😄 Hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead of you!
