This week I started work experience in Maxi Zoo Maynooth. I left my house really early so that I could get the twenty past eight bus to Maynooth. I was waiting at the bus stop for ages with loads of other people who were also waiting to get the bus to work and college. As if I wasn't nervous enough, the bus didn't come! I didn't miss it or anything, it just didn't show up. At this stage it was quarter to nine and I was still waiting for the bus with all the other frustrated people. I started to panic because I didn't want to be late for my first day of work experience, what kind of impression would that give the employers! In the end I had to get my Mam to give me a lift, as we drove up to Maynooth we could see all the worried faces of the college students who were going to miss their lectures. I arrived in Maxi Zoo at exactly nine o'clock. Thank God!! 

     When I was introduced to everyone working there I realized that I had nothing to worry about, everyone was really friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed my day in Maxi Zoo because even though they don't sell pets in the shop, there was always animals there. The shop themselves have a pet bird and one of the employees brings her German Shepard puppy to work everyday, customers are also allowed to bring their pets into the shop, so I was around different types of pets all day! I'm looking forward to my next day of Work Experience, hopefully I wont have such bad luck with the bus next week! :)
