i just donated blood for the first time ever and it went really well! they had a blood drive at my school today and i've always wanted to donate but never have. i had extra time today, so i figured...why not?? they took me in, asked me all the crazy questions about countries i've been to (canada) and diseases (that i've never heard of, let alone contracted), pricked my finger...and then took me in to take my blood. they had problems finding a vein, but found one in my right arm and i was all set to go from there. it was an interesting experience and everyone was really nice!
