Tomorrow morning I will start working at a dog kennel/cattery for a week, as part of completing/passing my Animal Care college course. In October when I was supposed to find a work placement to go to, I was on the verge of suicide and in no frame of mind to do so.
So now that I am loaded happy pills which have somewhat turned my frown upside-down, I have had a sort of confidence to volunteer to work elsewhere (the original choice being extra hours at college, which I have already done some of.) Basically, this is a challenge that I have set for myself, and I will do it! 
I am nervous about it, since it will involve talking to girls a similar age to me (that work there), and having to deal with 20 dogs, all deafening me with their pain-inducing barks. But I like dogs anyways; I'll just have to put up with their barks. Also, there is a 2 hour break! I don't know what I'll do. I guess I'll have to find a corner somewhere and read a book. 
Well, here goes...

Thanks very much! 
Well the first day is over. It was alright, and very routined (is that a proper word?), which is a good thing for me. There was so much barking and some angry dogs, but other than that it was fine. Also most of the few staff there are actually much older so that's easier for me, with the talking part. I'm hoping the rest of this will go well. 
My favourite dog there today had to be the quiet overweight Beagle
