Morning Quote by Courtney Milan
““Today hasn’t started particularly well, and my schedule only forecasts worse. I have five hours of work this afternoon and several projects due in the next two days. Before I can tackle any of that, there’s the pesky issue of three hours of morning classes. I’ll be lucky to sleep before midnight. But counterbalancing that undoubtedly depressing list is one bright beacon: I’m wearing my favorite sweater.””
