Week turned around

Well, this week has turned around nicely from the disappointments of Monday!

Not only did I get word of having passed the third of four hurdles to Professorship, but I got an e-mail from one of my former doctoral committee members. Asking MY advice on research. I was able to e-mail her a copy of a recently published paper, and she suggested she and I should meet next time I am up that way (which will be in a few weeks; my parents live in the same town and I will be up there over spring break).

AND I just got an e-mail about my most recent manuscript! ACCEPTED WITH REVISIONS. Woo! (Accepted with revisions is about as good as it gets in scientific publishing: they think it's valuable but some rewriting is needed. And a quick scan of the comments seems to suggest it's mainly stylistic issues that need to be reworked).

I guess once in a while the universe does decide it's dumped on you enough...
