Packing

Hey y'all! Today was my last roving day, and, to be honest, it wasn't that good. We met a really mean grumpy old lady, who didn't want to know anything of anything. She didn't care, if we were selling, asking her to save people's lives- she didn't want to know anything, but all I could say was ' Have a good day!' But whatever, I mean, I just hope that she doesn't count on the blood services to save her life, no matter how grumpy she was, she didn't have to be so mean about it. She could've just said, 'No, I'm not interested." She didn't have to say what she said. I do understand where they're coming from though. I'm not particularly fond of people who do what I'm doing, but I'm never, ever rude about it. Oh well, it was the last day of that for me for the rest of the summer!
What else? I've started packing today too. In plastic bags mind you, not something people picture when moving houses. For me, I've got 2 small cardboard boxes, plus my printer box, but everything else is in plastic bags- orange rubbish bags. I can't believe I'm leaving on Saturday! Or sunday, I suppose, depending. Oh, and I'm probably not going to update this blog for the whole of August, because I don't think I'll be in range of internet. Not that I have many or any readers anyway haha! Oh well! Yeah, so I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the summer!
PS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY POTTER!!

July 17

Booked my appointment for my next blood donation...really late. But that's okay! Recently, after my second ever rove, I was surprised as to how many people are actually afraid of needles, or just don't want to know anything about saving people's lives. (Also it surprised me as to how many people are from out of town...) It's not like we're selling them something...we're asking them to save peoples lives... I can't remember if I've shared this line before but one of the girls at my school says something like Even if you're afraid of needles, some people are afraid of dying! and it's quite amazing as to how many people actually agreed to donate afterwards. haha, kind of funny, eh? I mean, the needle is in your arm to around 7 minutes, and to me, it hurts less than a flu shot. and yes, the first time I donated, I almost fainted.So I have been there, but I still went back the second time and now the third time is coming!! When I move to Nanaimo, there are mobile clinics that come 8 minutes away from campus which is totally awesome, so I won't stop giving blood here! I am totally a huge supporter of the Canadian Blood Services and I definitely hope to continue giving blood until the day I die. Yay!

So as it's July 16th today, this means I'm on my second week of summer holidays! And so far, i've been having lots of fun! I've been volunteering at Stampede Breakfasts for the Blood Services to recruit donors- it's been difficult, but there have been a few people who are willing. Last week was really hot, around 30 Celsius, a little too hot for me, but it's better than being cold like it was last summer. I've been reading a lot, which is fantastic for me-I need to catch up all the reading I couldn't do during the year! We watched some home videos last night of when I was just knee-high to a grasshopper, and I have to say I had the chubbiest cheeks I have ever seen. then I saw one clip, and I was reading a story to my dad, but I was only three...turns out that even though my fingers were on the words as I was reading, I was making it up very convincingly as I went along. Maybe I was made for the stage after all  haah!! I think that's all for now!
