Stupid emotional rollercoaster.

 Having worked myself up a lot about the job in Nanjing, I'm now working myself down again and preparing to be rejected. I know getting myself hyped up is a bad idea, but that is exactly what I've done. It's now been 2 weeks since my interview and 2 business days since they checked my references. They want to complete the process by Friday week, so there's only so locate that they can reasonably hold the 2nd-round interview. 

Now, I have been in the situation where I was made a job offer within a day of having an interview, but I don't know how normal that is. So, I am emotionally letting to and resigning myself to not having the job. Even if I do this, I'll be horribly upset if I don't get it. But It's still better than being brought down from the height of excitement.

ETA:

Apparently not having my hopes up is the way to go. I just go asked for a 2nd-round interview! XD
