Donating Blood

A few weeks ago I was having a pretty good day at school when I came across a table accepting registration for blood donations. I figured ‘what the hell’ and signed up. It turns out though that the day I registered for was today! The problem? I’ve got to hit the lab for an hour today, go to a study session for Spanish and then later take a test…I wonder if giving blood an hour before all this is going to make me all woozey and or weak. I don’t have problems with needles/shots but I think I was a little out of it last time I gave blood for an allergy test but I weighed 125lbs back then and I hadn’t eaten much that morning. Hopefully the extra 30lbs I’ve gained since then comes in useful today along with the ton of food I’m eating and water I’m drinking today. I thought about backing out but then I felt really bad…stupid conscience! Anyway, I guess this entry should be classified as a way of trying to reducing anxiety but now that I think of it I’m probably more worked up now than I was before I started…Damnit. Oh well; no excuse for doing bad on a test is as good as, “I had just donated blood professor, come on….”
