A Little Light-Headed

I got to work this morning and saw that Fordham was having a Blood Drive. So I took a trip over to McGinley student center at 1ish to dontate. I had just eaten lunch, so figured I'd be all set to go.

I walked in and there were literally like 15 medical people just sitting around a big table all watching TV (Divorce Court to be exact. The husband claimed his wife pushed him into having an affair because she made him get a job... gotta love daytime television). So I was all 'uhm, excuse me?' They looked around totally confused. Finally someone asked "Oh are you here to give blood?" And I said yes. Now keep in mind the room is all set up with the little gurnies and partitioned pre-blood giving areas. And the blood drive started at noon. But apparently at 1pm, I was the first person to arrive. So they rushed around looking for the forms, etc. It was so bizarre.... and I got a bit nervous that they were going to poke the shit out of my arm trying to find a vein. But no worries... everything went smoothly. I gave all my blood, got a little snack of cheez its and was on my way. I was a bit light-headed on my way back to the station... but I'm back on track now!

Though I'm thinking this is an ok excuse to skip the gym tonight, right? Because they said no strenuous activity or heavy lifting for 24 hours. I figure saving a life should let me off the hook for one night at the gym! I might hit up Barnes and Noble to buy a book instead!
