But if you gotta go - whoa-oh - safe travels..
After school today I went down to the blood donor place because I felt like being a good citizen, and because I have finally run out of reasons to postpone it. I have actually wanted to be a blood donor for quite some time, and since the office is in the same friggin building as most of my lectures I really have no arguments left why I shouldn't. After filling out my questionnaire (containing such delightful questions as "has there ever been a case of mad cow's disease in your family?" and "have you ever accepted narcotics as payment for sexual favors?") some blood tests were taken and more questions were asked. And then I realized that this was crappy timing - even if I don't have HIV or syphilis, which I am really pretty sure I don't, they still don't want my blood. Because I have a new partner there is a quarantine period of 6 months to make sure he doesn't give me HIV or syphilis. Which means I am not approved until June, and then I go home. So yeah, me actually doing something nice and helpful will have to wait until I get back here in August. Kind of bummed about that -.-
The rest of the day was spent writing about confidentiality and baking an apple pie. (it was good, but note to self: it will be even better if you remember to peel the apples first *facepalm*)
