The most exciting Fed-Ex to ever arrive in Magny-Fouchard (a
tiny village in Champagne, North-West France) was addressed to me today. It was my official
Robertson acceptance letter and details of the program!
The Fed-Ex was originally destined for my home in Maroubra,
but had to be resent to my Dad’s childhood home in France, where I am staying due to
ill health in the family. Forget croissants and éclairs; that bundle of papers
was by far the most mouth-watering thing at the breakfast table! First year
dinner series, involvement in campus life, leadership retreat, summer programs,
mentoring and friendship...it all seems much more real and infinitely more invigorating
when you have a piece of paper in your hand!
I read it all and got the pen ready, fittingly it is the
first important document I’ve had to sign since I turned 18. My ugly signature
has never looked so beautiful on a page.
Now I’m really eager to know...what’s the next step?
