Glanalaw - delighting in pure song

Well, I haven't quite kept up with either of my resolutions.  The sink is full of dishes again (sigh.)  And I haven't worked out every day this week.  However, I did  get in four days, which is four days better than I've done for months, and I've washed dishes twice this week (but I cooked a lot yesterday) so I am not going to beat myself up about it.

Friday I got an email saying I'd been accepted!  I don't know yet about the financial aid situation, so I'm still praying for the financial side to work out so that I'll be able to attend, but I'm really excited -- partly just because I made it in , and that's a huge confidence booster for me; partly because I loved Dr. Ma
