Best academic news of the day

I will have a published paper, my very own first published paper :)

I had an email telling me that the one and only paper, so far, I submitted to a conference will be published in the conference proceedings. The strange thing is that I didn't even go to present the paper. And, to tell you the truth, I didn't expect at all that it will be chosen since it doesn't really present strong arguments as much as review existing theoretical frameworks. I was still in the heat of writing my thesis when I knew about this conference and I thought why not? So I put together a paper from my thesis work and sent it. Of course I immediately had a look at it today, but you know what? I actually wanted to do a lot of changes. I guess I have matured academically, which is a good sign. Well, even if I am not completely satisfied about it, at least I will not be completely satisfied about a published paper ;-)

Anyway, I was thinking that relevance theory (which is in the title of the paper) is very good for me. Ever since I had RT in my life, very good things have been happening. I love RT :)
