So, yesterday was my birthday, which is not something I normally care much about, but this year was a bit different. About a week ago I applied for an internship at Farm Sanctuary and yesterday I had my phone interview. I didn't really expect to find out whether I had gotten it or not, but at the end of the conversation I was told that I had been accepted. Working with Farm Sanctuary is something that I have wanted to do for quite some time now and, while this is only an unpaid internship, I feel like it is a huge step in the right direction.
Usually, my birthday just reminds me that I have wasted yet another year of my life doing nothing that I actually care about, but it looks like this year might be a bit different. Assuming this internship actually works out, which is something I probably won't really believe until I actually arrive at the farm on my first day, I will be spending three months taking care of rescued farm animals. This might not sound so great to some people but, for me, helping non-human animals is the one thing that I think will actually make me feel like I'm making a difference.
I also decided that this year I am going to start a blog, actually tell people about it, and make a sincere effort to keep it up. I've started others in the past but I knew no one was reading them so I found it very hard to stay motivated to keep writing. I want this blog to be my outlet for expressing my thoughts and ideas, mostly about animal rights and veganism but probably about other things as well, and also, eventually, as a way to chronicle my experience at Farm Sanctuary.
Since this is my first post, I am going to keep it fairly short but in the future I'm sure they will become much longer and more rambling. Hopefully at least a few people will care enough to read them anyway. Thanks for reading.
