The text message arrived as she was slaving away at her part-time job in the university cafeteria. A friend's excited message read: "Did you see the email?!" She did, and the news sent a shiver of delight through her. She almost dropped the tray she was carrying.

She felt like she was buzzing with energy, unable to stand still. She took an exaggerated bow in front of her coworkers. She grinned, the feeling bubbling in her stomach and her cheeks hurting.

She immediately began imagining a new life, a future unconstrained by the demands of academia. It was all a bit unreal, a bit unbelievable, but undeniably wonderful.
