Training..

We started our first lot of training this week with multiple different people. I wasn't exactly ecstatic to find out that there will be an exam at the end of it with a pass mark of 80% but luckily it's open book (I get to use my notes & laptop) so it can't be that hard!

This week has been going much quicker than last as we are actually doing something and learning things that will benefit us in the future (when I refer to us and we, I mean the other apprentices and I) so I've been enjoying it much more. My Wi-Fi at the office is still not working sadly but I will be getting that fixed tomorrow - fingers crossed.

Today we had a two hour break so I decided to go and see the sites of Paddington. There isn't a lot to see. What I was actually trying to find was a Waterstones or something of the like as I was trying to pick up the final book in the trilogy of The Hunger Games. If you have read the past few blog posts, you may have seen that I have been reading them. I've also been reading them a tad too fast (for me). I managed to finish the second one in three days whilst pretty much only reading them whilst travelling. Anyway, I realised today that Paddington itself doesn't actually have that many sights to see. It is pretty much just restaurants. I did manage to find a place deserving a picture though.

I also managed to get a decent enough picture of the "gardens" just outside where I work in Sheldon Square so here is a picture of them too. (They are not really gardens, just grass on steps!)

Tomorrow I will be going to the Reading offices for the first time - this should be interesting judging by the fact that when I first went to Paddington, I ended up at a random NHS building..
