The first week was mostly an Induction to working at PwC and was a chance to get to know the rest of the London intake a bit better. Cue lots of talks, lunches, dinners, business games and a welcome event on the London Eye (after 3 years of going to university a stone's throw from the attraction....oh, the irony.). By the time we received our laptops at the end of the week and had our photos taken for ID, it was really starting to sink in that we were now members of the firm. However, I was still relieved when the weekend rolled over and soaked in the sun whilst watching a friendly game of family cricket.
The second week signalled the start of my ACA course, with the whole week spent in college on a crash course in Accounting. The week was execptionally busy and we were given lots of homework to complete outside of class too. Since I was going out for my friend's 22nd, I got slightly behind schedule and had to spend the weekend catching up on homework as well as revising for an exam on Monday.
The third week followed a similar vein but was slightly more chilled. On Monday had Accounting exam - did reasonably well on it. Tuesday was a 'business board game', the aim of which was to bring bookkeeping alive :P, in any case, it was a welcome break from college work. Wednesday and Friday were spent learning the fundamentals of Audit and Assurance for my second exam subject. Thursday was the designated PwC Day, and was meant to be a chance to learn more about the IT systems but ended up being more about socialising and having jokes with our team.
All in all, it's been quite good so far. Another test tomorrow and then more learning at college. Although I'm having a good time and it is making the transition from uni to work a bit easier (though still missing my friends), I can't wait till I actually start going out on client work.
