"The World Is Small"
(The title is an homage to Thomas L. Friedman.)
These days I am having phone interview with faculty members. Let me explain why I wrote "The World Is Small" for the title.
1. A university/T professor
K is my junior in high school and university. Recently K's academic advisor married and I heard her husband went to A university. Surprisingly K's academic advisors's husband, T professor, suggested phone interview with me. Wow! Even though he does not know about me, I have known him and his wife for many years. Especially his recent paper was so impressive that I could remember main content of his paper.
2. B university/T professor
I have known T professor for many years. I studied his paper and used simulator from his laboratory. Currently my friend A is working with him. I sent an e-mail to him and got a noteworthy response. Can I say this is Karma? Fortunately and thankfully my friend A plays a pivotal role in making me as a strong candidate.
3. C university/M professor
K is my co-worker and he graudated from C university. He wrote some papers and worked with M professor. With his recommendation, I sent an e-mail to M professor but I failed to have more process. But, at this time, my recommender C went to C university and got co-work with M professor. Then M professor re-suggested phone interview to me. (I thought C told M to pick me.) Now M professor told me, "The world is small." I absolutely agree with him. What a small world it is!

제목 : 커뮤니케이션
교수님과는 커뮤니케이션 문제가 확실히 있는 것 같습니다. 지난 학기부턴가 뭔가 서로 오해하고 있거나 말이 잘 통하지 않는 느낌이 들었습니다. 한국 사람인데 영어로 대화하니 더 말이 안 통하는 느낌. 한국 사람들은 한국인 특유의 발음이 있어서 외국 사람들이 영어를 할 때보다 더 알아듣기 쉬울 때가 있는데 이상하게 저는 교수님이 말하는 것을 미국 사람이 얘기하는 것보다 더 못 알아듣는 것 같습니다. 입장을 바꾸어 교수님도 저를 보면서 더 답답하게 ......more
어차피 이 바닥이 다 거기서 거기더라구... 착하게 살아야지.. ^^;;
When I talked about you with her before, she didn't mention it strongly. :(
Anyway, everything seems good for you.
However, as you know, I have tough funding situation because of economic crisis. T.T
That is the problem.
