It's the thought that counts right??

I went to give blood today with some of my classmates and was really looking forward to it. They came to our campus awhile back but I wasn't able to go then. Since it was my first time to donate in Australia they wanted me to fill out pages and pages of forms, understandably. Then in the interview I was told that I couldn't give blood because I had gotten a tattoo within this past year. Man that sucks...I thought we only had to wait 6 months but I must have been thinking about something else. Oh well, we'll go back in November and I'll be ready to go. The goods news about this trip was the amount of food that you get after the donation. In Canada they just give you some juice and some crackers. Here you can get meat and sausage pies (ever so famous here), 4 types of halloween size chocolate bars, fruit cake, crackers and cheese, trail mix, biscuits, tea, and 4 kinds of juice. We must have drank three juice boxes each when we were filling out our forms. Other than not losing any blood, it was all and all a good day!!!
