Wow, I don’t even know how to respond to this.  The search committee for that job wants me to come give a talk in early March.  Um, woah.  One of the candidates withdrew her application so now I am back in the running.  What a rollercoaster ride this is.  I guess the good thing about having been semi-rejected by them once is that I know I can handle the rejection and that I am not going to crumble to pieces if I get rejected again.  Feeling like there is less at stake will allow me to be more relaxed and more capable of thinking fluidly under pressure.  At least the slides for my job talk are almost done…just need to brush up on a ton of stuff now!
