With academics.
I must say, I felt quite at home in the world of academia and not at all bothered by the lack of postnominals after my name.
Mum and I had to go out to uni to talk to her cousin* about a new work contract. The visit coincided with the launch of a book she helped work on before I was born. So off to the book launch we went!
Mum's cousin loves babies. He was the baby whisperer of his family. I'm more than happy to let anyone hold me, but particularly those with baby whispering skills, so Warren held me for just about the whole function.
And he introduced me to everyone.
I met the Dean. I met the Deputy Vice-Chancellor. I met people with MAs and PhDs.
And I completely stole the show.
The Dean mentioned me in her speech. The Deputy Vice-Chancellor mentioned me in his speech. And the authors mentioned me too!
My academic career has begun.
* Warren is actually married to Mum's cousin. So technically not her cousin at all. But giving detailed family histories messes with the flow of my blog. Don't you think?
