Back from North Carolina

I just returned from my job interview in North Carolina. The scenery was amazing! My friend Angela had visited there the week before I arrived and called it "breathtaking." I'd agree with that. If you like mountains, it doesn't get much prettier. I happen to really like mountains. I could not get over the number of trees. I think Kansas is pretty in the fall, imagine the hills of North Carolina. Wow!

I did as well as I could on the interview and have no regrets. If they offer me the job (which I think they might) I would take it in a heartbeat. Yesterday I did some touring with my newly adopted Uncle John (former Chancellor of ASU and my personal tour guide for the visit - thanks to mom, dad and grandma Jones), then I headed back to Charlotte to fly home. I was overwhelmed with the thought that I leave to India for two weeks in a few days and I may be moving half-way across the United States immediately when I return. Yikes! There are so many details to work out...selling my place, packing up, getting from here to there, wrapping up jobs and school. What a crazy adventure?!

They interview the last candidate for the job August 1. I should hear something after that date (even though I will be out of the country at the time - ahhh, the wonders of email!). I'll keep you posted.
