Oh geez, my duodenum.

I gave blood today!

And I am now officially part of the National Bone Marrow Registry too, which I have wanted to do forever but haven't because usually it costs $75 for them to draw two vials of blood, type it, and add you to the registry, but you get it for free at Stanford if you donate a pint of blood too, which I would do anyway.

And please, you want me to pay you $75 so I can do something for the greater good of humanity and so you can stick a needle and take blood out of me? I don't think so. That's where I draw the line.

But now that I'm in, this now means that I could potentially be called up to be a bone marrow donor for someone who is in need of a transplant. And it is weird to think that this could happen tomorrow... or never... It's just good to be a part of it.

If you are in California and want to do this, go to the Stanford Blood Center.
They give you cookies and a t-shirt too.

What a way to go out on my last day of the quarter.
But now I need to take a very long nap.

A pint of blood ain't no joke.
