Donating Blood
Well yesterday the School was having a blood drive. So megan and I decided to go donate some of our blood. (What better way for two cousins to bond lol) Well the whole process was actually pretty good, being a first time donor and all. There was pretty much no pain. I was all done and feeling really good about helping people in such a way. I hoped down off the bed feeling great, bent over to get my bag (AND FREE T-SHIRT!) and started to walk over to the finilization table where free sugary foods were avaliable, and you were required to sit for two minuites. However my feeling great quickly wore off... i began to stagger towards the chair i was heading too... everything got a little dizzy, and pretty soon i could feel my head spinning and could hardly see anything. But i could hear ppl asking me if i was ok... As if it wasnt obvious i was about to pass out or anything. Finally someone started to ring a bell and i was caught by someone who led me the rest of the way over and onto a cot where i could lay down. They then gave me a wet paper towel and put it on my forehead. Soon after they gave me the towel i felt much better.... but that was my first time donating blood, and it so happened to be at the wonderful Edinboro University.
