Nothing groundbreaking here, but last weekend I took the opportunity to do a little exploring around MIT with my family. I usually just see the buildings in which I have class, Tiffany and Kayla don't generally see much of campus, and sometimes it's fun to just do a little exploring as there is so much going on. One of the highlights was the gauntlet of asteroids in the green building, where the department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences is housed. ET was hanging out at his summer home on the pink asteroid, but the Millennium Falcon was nowhere to be found.
Later we went to the HallowMIT party that the Institute held for all of the student families. Kayla got dressed up as a little monster, tried a little cotton candy, got a balloon, had a lot of fun and was subsequently scared to death by Tim the Beaver (MIT's mascot). He was dressed up as some kind of Zorro/Vampire - hopefully next time Kayla sees him the scarring will have subsided.
Braden,
ReplyDeleteRandom question that may seem off topic for your blog but I was wondering how hard it has been for you to balance the LGO work load with family? The reason I ask is because I am thinking of applying for the 2012-2014 class and I have a 3 month old son and wife. I've heard that the LGO experience is intense because you are fitting in two degrees into two years. I was wondering if you could talk a little about your balance on the blog?
