An email this morning from Syracuse University told me that my application made it to the second round of review! If I'm accepted, I'll hear back in early March. Syracuse is a smaller program, and they only accept students to whom they can offer funding packages. Whether I make the final cut or not, it's really good to know that a program I hold in high regard thinks I'm someone worth paying attention to. It really makes me feel good about all the work I've put in on these applications. It makes me feel less burned out. Less depressed, which I think I've been, in a subtle sort of way.
Speaking of things that make me feel happy, motivated, and less burned out, a professor I had a class with today told me that zie is very happy I am in zir class, and that I'll "raise the level." It's so good to feel valued, and to feel that someone whose knowledge and thoughts I respect respects me back.

I had a 47 minute bike ride home through the falling snow. The roads are less slick with fresh snowfall than once it's been smooshed down into icy hardpack. It was a slow ride, but mostly pleasant and relaxing. I got home just in time to eat some dinner, then drive back to school for my yoga and pilates class. I enjoyed it, perhaps more than I expected I would. My balance is pretty good, probably from all the juggling and occasional unicycle and rola-bola practice. I'm lacking in core strength for holding poses and some flexibility though. I'm looking forward to working on that.
And tomorrow is my first relaxation class!
