An invite

So, the vet, who lives far away, invited me to his birthday. Ugh! I suck at parties. I am all nervous and the only thing on my mind is when will I get out of here?! Do I really need to make more small talk?! But, I agreed to go. he is happy. It should be interesting to see what my mood will be like around a lot of people that I don't know and one that I barely know.
