On my first day of work experience I was shown the correct way to do groom dogs. I didn’t feel any nerves because I was excited to start, and I had taken over by the end of the day and was grooming quite a few of them by myself already. I was absolutely in love with every little face that came in today! 🐾 My manager is extremely easy going and welcoming, and she’s already taught me a lot of new knowledge on dog-care and health.

After work we went exploring the town a bit and I admired some of the lovely plant life over here, there’s just so much of it everywhere you go. 🌿

We went further into town a bit later on and found two amazing looking girls who had handmade wedding dresses out of used cigarette boxes which I found extremely cool, then we had some lovely tapas to finish off the evening.

On day one we started of with a meeting on campus to then being show the woke places. I’m in a school which is only a minute walk from the accommodation which is perfect. I finished up about 12 and me and few the boys went on a walk around the town through shopping centre and finished of with a Dublin donuts , we then got a taxi to the beach and had a swim , later in the day we went to the designer outlets for a hours and had some food to then meet up with other students in the evening time for some pool and ping pong

Day 2 was my first real day of work in the school , I participated in two sport classes while also being in an English and science class. The woman I’m with is very nice and helpful and her English is great , but I feel as tho so far the onlt struggle I’m having with other teachers and students is the language barrier , after work we went to meet up with others in the arcade room. In the evening time we went out for dinner in the town to end the nights

Me and Kyle got into work at 10, we opened up shop and helped the owners, Rafa and Laura to tidy the place up. I sweapt, hoovered and mopped every bit of floor and emptied + loaded the dishwasher. Kyle and I diced about 6 kilos of cabbage. The language barrier between ourselves, the other workers and customers is quite noticeable, but hand signals seem to be working well. There is another student working there at the moment too, I think she’s french so we also cant communicate with her, Id say she is also on an Erasmus type trip.

I bought an american football after work and got fish and chips with the lads, life good.
