When two become one

Have you any idea how difficult it is to write in one language while conversing in another AT THE SAME TIME? Yeah, trust me no easy task. This happened a while ago when PO found me in SF lab, chatting, and he promptly ranted about his GR prof, QM2 course, and the ridiculously easy GT math course. I mean, it's almost impossible to understand a physicist talking about tensor and Korean profs even when you're concentrating at him, let alone listening to that inarticulate oration while giving hints to your friend who's about to take the damn GRE test in Indonesian. Imagine that... I'm sure you can't.

And one more thing, I am going to trademark the alternate essay writing technique, whereby you open two documents, in my case, it was a music essay on Mozart's Eine Kleine Calvine Kleine Nachtmusik movement #3 and a Statement of Purpose for graduate school, and procede to write both of them, alternately. The two essays preferably are from different fields, that is, no essays on "Plastic Electronics: Spastic or Not?" and "MSE459 Lab Report: Electrodeposition -- Why are We Studying Old Techniques of Metal Plating When I Chose Nanotechnology". Rather, something like "The Nous of Platonism and Aristotlism in Modern Society" and "MSE459 Lab Report: Electrodeposition -- Do It Yourself -- A Guide to Ancient Electrodeposition Technique Apparently Useful for Modern, Intelligent, even Genius Nanotechnology Student -- Why Bother Studying Nanotechnology When You Can Grind Powder Long Enough to Make Nanoparticles". Wonderful ideas will flow and tunnel from one essay to another, and what you get is a hybrid, a mutant, like a gryffin. Mmmm.. Gryffindor...

Anyway, just a heads up to y'all 0T6PEY'ers, take your GRE sooner than later...
