Donated blood for the first time! What an experience.
Took nearly two and a half hours in total.
I nearly blacked out at one point. (Turns out I need to eat a full meal before donating @.@)
I was rewarded with three ice packs, V8, apple juice, crackers, cookies, and the repetitive questions of what my own name was, where I lived, and when I was born.
They tried to get me to eat more but I ended up reassuring them I was going to a restaurant when allowed to leave. (Yeah, about that, I felt sick once there and was unable to eat most of it. Yay for dogie bags!)
I have to drink a crap ton of water and juice for the next two days and in about a week I will finally know my blood type.
Yay me! 
My arm still hurts and I’m stupidly thirsty.
But I did it! Good for me~
