First day is done, it's all downhill from here!

I dragged an enormous suitcase on numerous mode of public transport up to Greenwich on Sunday and found my digs first time (thanks google maps!) where I was made to feel very welcome and settled into my lovely little room with Monkey for company of course!
There began a long a fretful night of tossing and turning - why on earth was I putting myself through this? What a silly idea! Is it too late to go home and go back to work and normality? Well you'll be pleased to know I eventually got a little sleep and after a hearty breakfast I made my way to my new workplace.
After the standard paperwork completion I was introduced to my first placement in the Marketing department, which is a whole new area for me but it includes the people who do the social media for RMG so I at least knew a bit about that.
I am mainly using my research skills in the role - they are hardly going to let me loose with their marketing campaigns but that has been very interesting looking at the background that goes into producing the massive marketing that goes into RMG.
I am also enjoying the pleasure of a lunch break in a place where you can go somewhere and as the weather has been so nice I have been finding my way round my new environs. 
Yesterday I had a sneaky peak around the Cutty Sark while the rest of my team were in a big important meeting so that was pretty cool and I'm off up to the Royal Observatory shortly to do some Longitudinal research! 
Hopefully my Landlady will be able to find the password for her WiFi shortly and then I can include some pictures in my blog!
