it's four in the morning - a very light snow is coming down - more like a shower of talcum powder - at first i couldn't tell it was snowing, not even with my nose pressed up against the window. it won't stick - chauncy street looks rained on - but there isn't the white glint of thinly accumulated snow, and tomorrow no doubt the sun will come up on a snowless cambridge. spent the day asleep mostly - feeling rather woozy all day, and rather mopey. did do up my departmental financial paperwork - they make you write a new one every year, and i get confused with the taxes and grants and such. that, i suddenly realised, was due on monday, so it was frantic hunting for tax forms and bills and much dubious mental arithmetic. also did some essay planning. i really must get a few more chapters read tomorrow and worked into essay. be a good girl, and all that.
