Oookay, so. I did some research about our blood donations tomorrow just to know what to expect. Annnnd trying not to freak out. I told my mom I'm donating a pint of blood tomorrow and she pulled out a measuring cup to show me how much that was... HOLY COW. 1 pint = 2 cups = 18 oz. I hate needles. I have to keep telling myself, "this is for a good cause." Mrs. Purol said a pint of blood can save three lives. But it is weird thinking that my blood will be flowing through some one else's veins.
