We had the first decent snowfall of the season last night. Because it started snowing as the sun was going down, I did not realize how much snow there was until this morning. When we went outside, it was an exciting surprise to find enough snow for a quick snow-fight before we all headed off for school and work. It’s very beautiful and lots of fun, but cold! My coat is not warm enough for this weather, so I need to keep moving around. The ground is slippery too; slick with ice in places. Cars were skidding on the slope from the bridge up to the church.
Despite the unusual weather, the office feels normal again today, with the usual background morning coffee chatter. It’s a nice change from the ‘I Am Legend’ atmosphere of last week. It’s not motivating to come in to work and sit completely alone.
My main task for this week is to continue with thesis revisions. As well as that, I will give some thought to the three-day teaching course I’m to take next week and follow up on some student contact. But the most important thing is to keep that darn thesis moving.
