I am now in my spiritual home.

I feel so at home at the BBC. It's amazing. When I looked out of the main building window from fourth floor and saw everything lit up so nicely at night and could hear the familiar tube trains going into a tunnel noise, I actually nearly cried, I was really emotional. I never thought I'd be back after my work experience, and if I did go back I never thought it would be so soon. When you walk down the corridors everyone smiles at you, from the smartest suited guys to the scruffiest jeans-and-hoodie runners. Random people strike up conversations in the canteen. It is the most fantastic and lovely place to work and I feel like I am home. Every time I look up to see the famous BBC Television Centre letters on the dotted wall I have a massive smile. I woke up today and thought I had dreamed the day before, but it was real.
Today I nearly walked into someone off the telly and didn't even realise who he was till after he was gone, I was just like, oops nearly walked into a cute guy! I also met Barney the Blue Peter dog who is gorgeous and loves a good belly rub but will get cross if you stop doing it! Everyone is so nice and helpful to me!
Tomorrow I get my proper staff pass, which lets me into the building electronically when I place it over sensors on the doors, and hopefully I will get my computer/e-mail account too - unlike the old place, we each have our own individual account no matter who we are and what our job is. My first task after that? Send a certain BBC Scotland colleague/friend an internal e-mail!!!!
BRING IT ON!!!!!
