Spock and Kirk look at me in disappointment. They thought that I had found a fifth question on the Harvard application. Or at least an undiscovered country.
I have my application materials in so many places, it is unreal. I have copies of stuff on my home laptop, on my work laptop, on Google docs and even copies on a backup storage drive. I thought it would all be oh so easy to just use Google docs for everything. The only problem is...Google docs does not support some features on Word. So then it just becomes easier to have some things in Word format. They suddenly there are copies of the things everywhere.
Today I started writing a new essay for the Kellogg application. As I started to write it... I suddenly felt a deja-vu. This all seems so familiar! I did a search here and there... nothing. Then I had a look at my Google docs account. Ah ha! I have written this essay before! Has all this been going on so long that I've forgotten what I have and haven't done :-/ ...
I need some program to sync my documents in various places. Windows of ten years ago (i.e. Windows 98) used to come with a 'briefcase' feature to do this. I wonder what happened to that.
In other news, yes - I too noticed the Silence of the Applicants. But it seems like it was more to do with holidays than anything else. It's good to start seeing some of their posts again.
