Sooo, today I gave blood. It was a half day during school so I couldn't do it during lunch, and instead prompted to give at 10 30. My "full breakfast" was a bag of Gardetto's and half a Brisk tea. I was dead hoping I wouldn't pass out, but that was the least of my worries. The guy had stuck my vein in a sideways manner, then wiggled it around. To add pain to, well, more pain, he dropped the smaller bag to take samples from and it pulled at the needle even more. It's never hurt so badly before. Afterwards, when he told me to go to the front of the blood mobile, I tried to stand up. Well, I -rolled- off, landing on my feet and tripped over this rocking machine you attach blood to. I immediately felt sick and dizzy, so I sat down. Eventually, I made it to the front where I spent half an hour in a stupor, as if I'd just gotten off a roller coaster and all the blood had left my head. I was so tired, and I found a new appreciation for people in literature who have blood drained from them without passing out. Last time I donate without a full meal.

I finally finished my applications, and I'm about to send the portfolios in the mail. Here's the link to it so you can see what I sent.


Mah Portfolio. :)
