In case you don't follow me on Twitter or Facebook, here's the news: I was offered the history professor job yesterday afternoon. I'm planning to accept it, but I'm still in negotiations, so I'm not going to blog any more about it right now.
I am so thrilled!

Accepted the offer! (I was instructed by my new department chair to update this blog posthaste. Ha!)
