Just two weeks into this year I found out that I've got an unconditional offer for the PGCE course and that finally, on the second attempt, passed my driving test with three minors and on the unlucky 'Friday 13th'!
Whilst I am overjoyed that finally something good seems to be happening, I now have to scrape all the pennies together to pay the £9000 payment requirement. Alternatively, I could get a student loan, but hello more debt! But at the very least this has now set me on course for an actual job (yes, someone finally chose for me!).
And the driving thing, I am more than sure that the examiner decides the minute he meets you whether to pass or fail you. After the first tests perfect drive with the exception of a tricky situation with a bus, I was pretty sure that the guy plucked excuses from the air about things he couldn't prove. The second test led me to be incredibly nervous and susceptible to several mistakes that I know would count for some sort of marking on the sheet but I was amazed that I had passed and passed with only 3 minors for gears (an area of driving that I wish would disappear). But alas here I'm sat waiting for my driving licence to be delivered to my house and my name to be added to the insurance. Only with tuition fees coming up, can I actually afford to pay insurance and driving costs..?
This year might be shaping up as being productive but it's going to be a massive financial struggle...
