It feels like a good news week.

My paper has finally* been accepted! I hope this is a good omen for tomorrow's second interview to be a research assistant at the Archaeology department at Umeå University.

* The journal took forever** to get it reviewed. This is a hazard of writing in a very niche corner of the field.

** The article was submitted 12 November, so "forever" in this case is not a record-breaking amount of time, but it still felt rather long.
