Having been unfortunate at finding employment in various fields I have decided to head back into education, this time going back to college.

I’ve decided to gain an NVQ 2 in Professional Cookery, whilst studying at the new Middlesbrough College, in Middlehaven.

I haven’t officially started the course yet, that’s next week, due to it only being part time. If my job prospects hold out, I shall be employed shortly as well. Cool.

Being a cookery course, I need to wear a fancy chef’s outfit complete with scull-cap and apron. I will also have a full set of professional knives for the course, how cool is that. I’m not sure when I’ll have these items as I need to apply for assistance in buying them, but the college won’t release funding until the end of the month so I’m slightly stumped.

I’ve also tried to apply for the Adult Learning Grant, but the college has no forms available. Phoning the company directly leaves me ringing and ringing and ringi… you get the idea.

Driving up to college means I also need a parking permit. Guess what! Yep, the college doesn’t have any of those either. I’m starting to think I shouldn’t have bothered. I’m bugging my brother (well, I asked him) to get me a permit from work so I can park in the multi-story car park. These need renewing every three months though.

What is it with parking permits? I have to send proof that I actually have a car to get a permit to park outside my own house, that I’ll never be able to do due to other people parking there for two hours, as it’s also a public bay for up to two hours. *screams* I need too, with all this rubbish going on.
