I’m home and thoroughly exhausted. I had a terrific time talking with the students and had some fantastic conversations with the faculty about their own research and teaching philosophies. We had some really terrific philosophical discussions and our research projects resonated in provocative and exciting ways (it turns out that the analytic phil. science guy works with Riemannian manifolds and is asking a number of very similar questions). All in all I think I did as well as I could do, and feel that I would be a great fit for this position… And that this position would be a great fit for me. I was loose, confident, and friendly, all of which, I think, is good. Honestly this trip was far too enjoyable to be an interview. I think I’ll go enjoy a glass of wine and collapse now.

I am currently in New York for the College Art Association conference. This has been my first encounter with US academe policies and the interview processes faculty have to go through seem pretty gruelling. Your journal post is excellent news and I hope it goes very, very well. My voodoo doll is out.
