Note to Self

Posted by Mark | Filed under Life

While giv­ing blood is a noble thing –and some­thing that every­body who is able to do should do– giv­ing it while you’re suf­fer­ing from jet lag is per­haps not the smartest idea that I have ever had. I had been feel­ing back to my nor­mal lev­els of aware­ness at work, until I gave blood yes­ter­day. Then it was sud­denly like I hadn’t slept at all and I was wasted for the rest of the day. This was par­tic­u­larly bad because when I got home I remem­bered I still had to write that final jour­nal entry for my Japan trip/class. Damn. I guess I’ll just get it writ­ten up tonight and suck up the drop in grade for being late.

Oh and if you’re read­ing this AWelkin; this is not a plea to be excused from any “late fee” on my assign­ment. I knew the rules and I broke them; so I’m will­ing to pay the penalty.
