can't sleep

I just finished my second interview and I really need to get in bed, but naturally I'm not ready to sleep yet. Here's how they went.

1) Skype, the Foreign Affairs Office (FAO) person could see and hear me, but he could only type in response. I was using Keenan's Guitar Hero microphone because my laptop one sucks, so it was kind of like blind karaoke, with words and no music. It was definitely different, and then all of a sudden we're getting to the part where I ask questions and the call was dropped. Turns out he had seen enough of me to make his decision, so he ended the interview without letting me know. At least our contact person said I did well; it still left me with a funny feeling.

2) Phone, with the FAO lady who called half an hour late (that's a big deal considering the 13-hour time difference, her 3 p.m. turned into my 2 a.m.) and only talked for five minutes or so. She just asked if I had any questions about the school, and like a dufus I had the laptop all the way off so I couldn't pull up the email with the school details. I couldn't think of very many good questions this late, so when I was done pulling stuff from thin air, she said she would email a contract.

Hopefully one of these two jobs will be the one, they're actually in the same city! It's not too big, you know, 6 million people. I know it's good to keep options open, but at this point I'm ready to commit, be done, and move forward with one school. All this emailing back and forth and trying to work interviews around the time difference is tedious. The longer I have to wait, the higher the airfares go...
