I came in this morning prepared to be stuck with a needle and endure an enormous lack of comfort for ten minutes in order to save 3 lives; well that's not exactly how my day went. After waiting a few hours in my daily classes for my turn at the blood drive and yet another hour reading papers, prepping and waiting in line I was told that I didn't meet the weight requirements. I felt like I wasted my whole day. Honestly, I was excited to give blood because I really wanted the cookies they give you! Of course I'm all for saving lives but I had a smile on my face all day thinking about those blood drive cookies! It will never cease to amuse me how a simple thing like a bag of cookies can still motivate me. Of course, I didn't get my cookies and I'm still kind of mad but there is always next year to eat more food and pack on the pounds for free cookies!

At least you tried, and that's the most important thing. Sorry you didn't meet the weight requirement. I'm sure you're tough enough, but they don't want to take the risk.
