One more baby blogger
One more baby blogger The new baby bloggers were introduced about a month ago, but I have one more to bring you. She doesnât actually have a name, and she definitely doesnât have a coherent point of view or an extensive blogging resume â" strictly speaking, she hasnât actually been born yet. Sheâs my daughter, and as far as I know, sheâs the first of Blogger Generation 2.0. When I got engaged to her dad in Killian Court the summer after senior year, I am pretty sure I remember Ben Jones (the original Petey) promising me that our kids could go to MIT, so I am just going to go ahead and hold everybody in the admissions office to that vague decade-old promise, ok, great, thanks. She is already pretty excited about science, at least if I go by the frequency of kicks to my ribcage during my physiology lectures, and she owns onesies saying âMITâ, âFuture Scientistâ, and âBorn to Flyâ. (Letâs just say thereâs a disagreement between me and her dad about whether sheâs going to be a scientist or an engineer.) And I have seen her brain on the ultrasound, and it is already quite gyrified, so Iâm comfortable saying sheâs a pretty smart cookie. She will also be coming with me to do interviews for my first season as an EC (I mean, like, inside my torso; sheâs not due until after the deadline to contact your EC), so if youâre applying from the south San Francisco Bay Area, contact your EC now, because you might get to have an EC plus a bonus fractional EC! EDIT: Also, Chris wants me to add that the my husband is engaging in extremely unfair practices to sway her to the engineering side, namely that he has purchased a Star Wars landspeeder and modded it with Crazy Cart parts so that it will drift and go faster and do all kinds of things that are unsafe for a child/baby/fetus. But it does look pretty cool.
