* got a very competitive paid internship for the summer with a museum
* i chose the program i did to basically work with one professor, and this person told me this semester that: he'd be happy to oversee my thesis (actually going so far to suggest a topic to me that he himself is interested in, but doesn't have time, and thinks that i'm capable of researching) and have a future in the profession if i want it
* just heard this past week that i most likely will be receiving a $1000 scholarship in the next week or so

I'm pleased to report that the vote was unanimous in favor of publication, so I now have the go-ahead to issue you a contract.
