Day 4

Today I continued the rock crushing, but it ended up being a short day. I left at 845, and could have left 2 hours earlier, but worked out and did some research instead.

As I understand it, the stressful time is during pitch season which is generally February. In the meantime, I am going to work hard, dig into models, and try thinking like the client, the potential buyers, and our MD's.

The most interesting bit of today is how stressful each email is at this point. Since I am not 100% confident on style, preference, expectations, or where the information is coming from--I scrutinize every last detail. Nothing feels natural yet so I feel like a rookie NFL quarterback. Everything is moving fast and nothing is white noise. That keeps the mind challenged, but surprisingly sleep has been hard to come by.

I could blame it on the thunderstorms, but really it has been my inability to turn my thoughts off. tonight I am targeting 7 hours but I will need to work hard to make that happen. The excitement of the first week and all the new information must be making the neurons keep firing?
