It snowed last night and there were about four inches of snow on the ground this morning. My next door neighbor helped clear our common driveway with a snow blower, but I have just learned that he has had it with the politics in our town and is planning to move. I feel rather depressed because he is an excellent neighbor. Years ago, I had the neighbors from hell. Crude and rude barbarians who did not care about anyone. They would leave at 7:00 a.m. and blow their horn so as to wake everyone up. They parked trucks and vans in front of their house, three cars in the driveway, and two others in front of our houses. No one could invite guests because all the parking spots were always taken. We all detested them. Fortunately, they moved to the Sunshine state.
Classes have started at the university and I have already met most of my students. They seem very eager to learn so I know this will be a good semester. As usual, there are tensions in my department and lots of bureaucratic work that needs to be completed. Sometimes I feel very anxious at night because I have not accomplished enough. I am also obsessing over articles I need to publish.
I hope the day is sunny tomorrow since being outside on sunny days makes me feel better and there is an important meeting I need to attend.
