You know, I may take you up on this. It looks like I may be going back to the drawing board in more ways than one, but I may definitely take you up on this.

I don't know if I can/should/ought to contact the school -- I really suspect it has either to do with a lack of high school experience specifically, or the fact that my specialty area lies in British literature, and they might have found a candidate with more experience in American Lit. Which, if I'm going to be brutally honest with myself, was the one thing I wasn't keen on -- I'm not an American Lit fan. So... it's probably for the best, but I need to lick my wounds a bit more I think.
