Chapter 35
On Thursday Rachel phoned Winnie, who told her that she could come in on Monday, but as she was a student intern she wasn't required till classes started at the beginning of March. Rachel told her she'd be in on Monday to talk and set up a schedule. They decided [? agreed?] that Rachel would take January off, but would appear twice a week in February, most likely Mondays and Thursdays.
Tuesday's mail, much to my relief, brought a fat envelope from the Law School. I was admitted! There was new student orientation in February and we both had fees to be paid, but I was in! We danced around the room in a frenzy for about ten minutes.
"Wow! It worked!"
"Your nungungi-sense must have known."
"No. I'm no good at what's going on in my own life."
"Dinner out? Festive dinner?"
"Where would you like to go?"
"Toko, in Paddington. I've been told it's got the best sushi/sashimi."
"Okay. You phone for a reservation. I'll go get some cash."
Dinner was great! We also drank a small bottle of sake. It was very celebratory.
"You never said what you wanted to do the rest of this month," I remarked.
"Well, you're free till February, too. When's our first opera?"
"Friday the eighteenth. Pirates of Penzance."
"So we've nearly 10 days and then two weeks after our sole commitment. What would you like?"
"I'd like to see some of the NSW aboriginal sites. We've only been to the cave."
"What's near?"
"The nearest is Bobbin Creek area just north of Sydney. About a 40 minute drive."
