it went well

Thanks for asking, B*! The phone interview went well, I think. I was over-prepared, since K not only passed on to me all the questions asked in phone interviews, but made a mock-interview with me by calling me from his cell phone. I typed up responses to the questions, but they only asked half of the questions I was prepared to answer and some other random questions related to language teaching, such as the tricky "Which one do you think is more important when teaching language: grammar or writing?" (I totally compromised and said that they have to be taught concomitantly, that in order to write one needs to know grammar and in writing one can practice what they were taught in grammar)

I almost regret having applied, though, since I'm growing more and more nervous about talking to my department chair if I do get a job offer. I wish I'd had followed K's instincts and talked to my chair even before applying, because now it's just too late. I have this scary feeling that coming to my current employer and saying that I have this offer for a full-time job (because the job is definitely full time) won't really change anything, even if they really want to keep me.

And then there's the commute. Unless they were flexible to change the days & meeting times, I don't think I could manage to go 5 days a week...  (3h commute round trip).

Sigh...

So... in the end, I think this whole thing is only causing me trouble...

more later (I'm falling asleep over the keyboard)
