Week one is in the books with the Firm. I'm at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center for 4 more weeks (see pic). It sounds long but it's not bad. I'm having a great time. PwC sure does know how to treat its employees. Full course buffets and fun nights at the bars.
I've made some friends and continue to meet new people each day. Too bad we're all in different offices. I knew this coming in, but I'll say it again: the coolest thing about PwC is the people.
We trainees are from all over the country--SF, LA, NY, DC, Chitown, Beantown, Philly, Dallas, and we have some Brits from London. I've become friends with the British guys, and we went to a nearby park and played some barefoot soccer. I'm trying to teach ultimate frisbee now. It's so hot and humid down here, my California buddies can't take it. It's bad, but I'm used to it from growing up in Hoosierland.
I've been exhausted almost everyday, but I've managed to get up and do it all over again the next day. Sorry I haven't been able to keep in touch with you this week; I've been so busy bouncing from training to meals to just hanging out with new friends. This week FTS is starting Data Analysis and Reporting Tools School (DARTS). I'll let you know how that goes.

Eric, sounds like you're having an intense time! My one intelligent question to all this: what's the dress code like, and do you get to send out your laundry?
we're supposed to wear business casual during the day and at meals, but once we're done for the day, we usually eat in the dining room in casual clothes then go out to the bars. Yes, laundry can be expensed, but there's also a free washer and dryer down the hall.
