Mathematically Correct Breakfast

An ideal knife could enter on the black line and come out exactly opposite, on the red line. But in practice, it is easier to cut in halfway on both the black line and the red line. The cutting surface is a two-twist Mobius strip; it has two sides, one for each half. After being cut, the two halves can be moved but are still linked together, each passing through the hole of the other. (So when you buy your bagels, pick ones with the biggest holes.)

Most people have told me that if I wish to get a job in translating, I should gain qualifications in things such as business, law, science etc -- some form of specialised thing. Now I don't think I could dedicate myself to such topics, so does anyone else know what else would be a beneficial thing to study?

I hope this makes sense.

Hi everybody,
I'm writing a presentation letter in english for a scholarship. (Very short)
Would you please check it out and mark the language mistakes you find?
Thanks!

I am very pleased to support in any way I can XXX’s application for the scholarship you offer.

I have known XXX for the last 4 years, during which time she has successfully completed her degree in Foreign Languages at the University of YYY. Even though she majored in Chinese Language, she has always had a great interest in the German language. She has taken German laguage classes at the University of YYY and wishes to continue, because learning a new language would be very useful for her future career in the translation field.

Last night I went to see Princess and the Frog at the Disney Studios. And OMG I loved it. I laughed, I cried, I ship Tiana and Naveen like crazy. They are now the hottest Disney couple. And Dr. Facilier is hot, I think it has something to do with his Keith David voice, mmmmm. I love that man's evil laugh. And I LOVE Charlotte, I'm so glad they actually gave her some character as opposed to just being a spoiled rich kid (and the animation on her was LOL).

I kinda wish though the event had taken place at the El Capitan (which is now being taken over by Disney's Christmas Carol). The Studios was a nice place but it didn't have that grand overall look and feeling of the El Cap, like at the Enchanted event (best damn event ever). The best part was Brian bought me The Art of the Princess and the Frog book, EEEEEE! I must learn how to draw these characters, especially Charlotte.

Oh and I woke up this morning and it was pouring rain, YAY! First time in ages! I must go find a Princess and the Frog icon now. Either Tiana or Facilier. <3

Current Mood: happy
