Blood Donation

Today, Kristen came into my room at 11:30 and informed me I was donating blood with her. I enjoy donating blood so I said I would go. We fill out all the paperwork and get our vitals checked. Then we go behind the screens to answer personal questions and get an iron test. So I made it through pretty quick since I have donated a couple of times. Then I started to give blood. As I am just finishing giving blood Kristen comes out and announces that she cant give blood. It is ironic that I ended up donating blood and she didn't. I am glad I did it though because as I was chillin in the chair I had a revelation. I decided I wanted to try to become the world record holder for the most blood donated. I think if I start going regularly now than by the time I get really old I will have the record beat. I have always wanted to hold a world record and I figure this is a pretty honorable one. So maybe one day I will be able to say at least for a while that I have donated the most blood in the world. However, I came back to my dorm room and looked it up. The record holder has donated 28 gallons...which is A LOT considering it probably takes 8 or 9 times to get a gallon. Maybe I will accomplish this goal before my life is over.
