I just found out that I won a departmental award that comes with a $1000 prize. It's given in honor of a wonderful professor emerita -- I was lucky enough to work with her as a master's student and I learned so much from her. Award notifications were supposed to happen earlier this week and when I didn't hear anything, I assumed they'd chosen another applicant. Turns out they issued paper notifications in our campus mailboxes (how twentieth century) and only followed up by email today. Hurray!
Congratulations! Well done.
Will there be any celebrations with the family?

Does this mean you get a new washer? Or perhaps I should say, please don't tell me you are going to spend your prize money on a new washer!
Congrats! I am very happy for you!

Congratulations my friend!! That's great news, isn't it? I wish I'd gotten an award during grad school (great CV fodder), but alas... no.
