Work experience

This past week has been very eventful.  On Monday it was my birthday, yaaaaaay! Except there was a school camogie match which sadly we lost by a good bit.  It was our first match as a team though so taking that into consideration we played well.  Hopefully we will improve throughout the year as we play more as a team.

On Wednesday we started our first work experience.  I did mine in Beaufield Veterinary Clinic.  I started at 9 and finished at 2.  The previous night I had been very nervous.  I was afraid that I would be overwhelmed with what was going on or that I would not know anybody.  When I arrived the people there were really friendly and taught me many things.  I had to supervise many surgeries, such as the neutering of 2 cats, chemotherapy, many x-rays and even the grooming of a cat!  Although there was a fair amount of blood which I didn't think I'd be able for, it was a great experience and I feel like I greatly benefited from it.  I always wanted to be a vet and, if anything, this experience increased my interest in it.  I look forward to next week and seeing what I will be faced with.
