Ain't this little pub sweet? its totally dwarfed by the big bad black skyscrapers :P

Westminster Abbey

Check out this sexy old school car we saw infront of the abbey.

The abbey from the side (gorgeous architecture!)

Good old big ben (and the London eye in the background)

Sorry there aren't more, we didnt get out to see much of London since we were so busy with all the speakers and such.

On Thursday having arriving back from London we were treated to an excellent training and coaching session with channel4's Alison George. She gave us some really useful tips for coming up with creative ideas as well as helpful advice on presenting yourself. She also did a couple of coaching excercises with us to help us to determine our goals and the steps we needed to make to achieve them :)

Friday was a quiet day at our hotdesks (which was a bit of a relief) ...well apart from getting our mug shots taken. :p (More of that to come)

Next week is shaping up to be exciting as well, on monday we have another speaker coming into TRC and then Tuesday to friday we are all of on our first set of placements. With Angela of to Axis Animations and me to Blonde media.

More to come peeps

Wish us luck :)
