I am taking only 13 credits this semester. Yet I have no life. I don't get it. Actually, I do. Three Professor Ross classes. Nuff said.

Last Tuesday I gave blood for the first time ever. At least, I tried to give blood for the first time ever. I have no medical reasons not to, nor am I afraid of needles. So I went in, filled out the forms, answered the questions, and had the little pre-check-up. That nurse told me I wasn't hydrated as much as they would like, then sat me down to wait and drink several bottles of juice. Finally, it was my turn. The vein in my left arm decided to burst when she tried to get the blood from me. For the sake of those who would not appreciate it, I will not go into detail about the image imprinted in my mind. Suffice it to say, I have a beautiful purple and green bruise on my left arm. So we tried my right arm next and that went fine. They had to elevate my feet to keep me from passing out, but that's not entirely unusual. However, partly because I hadn't had enough to drink that day, they couldn't get enough blood from me to go to a recipient. They will instead use my blood to test their equipment. This experience will not, however, keep me from attempting to give blood again in November.

Terry Taylor and Mike Roe will be in concert here tomorrow night. Free. I'm going. I'm writing an article. I rock. :)

Random thoughts of the day...
I really need to figure out archives! :-P

I really need quality me time! :-P

I really need spider solitaire on my computer! :-P
