Blood, blood, blood was everywhere!

That was how I started my college essays. I got into all 8 schools I applied to, so it must have been a good line. It could also describe today's events cause I gave blood today. Except there wasn't really blood everywhere. In fact, there was just blood in my body and not anywhere else. I passed the iron test and the "did you ever inject illegal drugs using a needle from anyone who slept with anyone who went to africa from 1980-1987?" test. (The answer was no, in case you were wondering). Then I got stuck and blood dribbed out into the blood tube for about 30 seconds. Then it stopped. I had to sit there for 30 more minutes with a cold towel on my elbow until it felt numb. Now it's unnumb but since I can feel it, it pretty much feels like someone punched me in the elbow. Wearing a glove. Covered with little razors. But razors that don't make marks, just pain. Yep, that's it. Yeah.
