It was a very long wait from when I submitted my application....or at least it seemed it!
Then all of a sudden I wake up this morning to this! Orientation Day was here! I got up early and got the coach to London, I was mega early and luckily the weather was nice so I had a wander around before going in. More and more people arrived and then we were all called to register. The staff there were great and really helpful, we were ushered upstairs to collect our uniforms and schedules and heard a speech from the Principal. It sounds like its going to be a hard nine months, but extremely rewarding. After that we were split into our respective groups and given a good tour of the school and all the kitchens and classrooms we'll be working in. We were then shown our lockers and given our knives, and a chance to check the uniforms fit. And as soon as it had started, the day seemed to be over! If everyday goes as quick as today Christmas will get here in the blink of an eye! On the plus side, everyone in my group seems really nice as well.
When I got home I tried the uniform on all together...
Very proud to finally be wearing this. Almost the complete uniform, got a couple more bits to pick up next week.
Wednesday is the first class and we start off with a wine tasting, could be worse! From the look of the schedule the first few weeks will be quite intense, but I'm really really looking forward to them. Can't wait to get into the kitchen now!
