Kym Le

On Thursday I found out through a phone call from Mum that…I was offered Dentistry at the University of Adelaide. Unfortunately it also coincided with the lapse date to respond to the offer!

That night I had very little sleep. Then early the next morning we flew to Adelaide. Mum and I vacillating by taxi between a couple of accommodation options, only to decide on our initial stop!

First I had to enrol. The staff at the School of Dentistry were extremely helpful and talked me through what I missed out in O-Week. Sleep deprived and thirsty, it was a lot of information to process.

On Saturday morning Dad arrived and we drove around buying the paraphernalia I would need. In the evening we found out the owner of the restaurant we were dining at was the sister-in-law of my aunt-in-law’s close friend. Adelaide is a small place indeed!

Then the next day an ATM swallowed my bank card.

I will keep you updated, but certainly the first week of the semester will be just as busy. It will be quite an experience to be living alone.
