First Week of Training

All day I would think I wasn't good enough for the tasks they gave me. The training won't count as articleship (3 and a half yr training period required for CA students) and I won't be getting paid, so all the more reason to stay home and wait for the ICAP result, but every night I would go through my day and think I was learning something new each day so I had to hang in there, at least, for a couple of weeks And here I am, richer by one week of experience (and what an experience it has been!).
