40 minutes

that's how long my phone interview was today. i don't know if that's good or bad, and i know i shouldn't base anything on how much time was spent talking, but i can't help it. i don't have anything else to focus on right now.

we talked about a lot of stuff, mainly what i feel i could bring to the program, how i would act as an R.A. (what activities i would use, what ideas/thoughts i have about students not getting along, etc). i tried to answer as truthful (and as fast) as possible, and i think i did pretty well in presenting my thoughts and ideas. it's just...

i really want this. my desire for this job is reaching italy proportions, and i didn't think i could ever want something that much again.

they're going to start notifying people mid-november, so i'll find out by the end of the month for sure.

here's hoping.
