I was super annoyed at having to pay taxes this year, but seeing this video of a puppy calmed me down with its overwhelming saccharine cuteness. This tiny Golden Retriever puppy appears to find the activity of climbing stairs too "taxing" and decides to rest its cute little head on the step.

The way the puppy nods off to sleep as it tries to fight the drowsiness reminds me of myself during PS 11 (Intro to Political Philosophy) at Brown. It was held at 6 PM in an overheated lecture room with a visiting Harvard professor who hypnotically paced from one side of the room to the other side while droning on about Locke, Rousseau and Co. The pacing, droning, and room's heat combined with the fact I would usually eat an early dinner prior to the lecture all combined to create a deadly soporific atmosphere where despite best of efforts my entire being shifted and drooped to the side: my nodding eyelids first, followed by my head, then my hand taking notes, and lastly the notes themselves.
