A quick update

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on my situation.

First, I accidentally accepted the position in Nagoya. It was totally an accident. I merely replied to their email asking for more information, but my email was misconstrued as an acceptance, which they then emailed me to thank me for and inform me about orientation details. I am going to call them today to explain the situation and decline. I am 97% sure.

I also woke up yesterday and today, each day finding an email offering me a phone interview for a position back home. Hopefully this is a sign that this is the direction I should be heading and that things will work out well. Since 99% of the jobs I applied for are aiming for an early January start date to correspond with the start of the spring semester, I imagine that most schools will be conducting their first round phone interviews in the next two weeks or so, so that they can have an offer out by the middle of December before the holidays. Hopefully this means that these next 2 weeks will be really busy for me.

I'll keep y'all posted.

BTW...thanks for all the advice and supportive messages that y'all sent. I really appreciate it and I am feeling much better and more positive about the situation now.
