Giving Plasma

Now, I know that giving plasma doesn't have anything to do with food, but I'm going to make it work. Last Thursday, I decided to give plasma. I had always wanted to, but could never find the time or desire to go. Well, my roommate finally convinced me to go with him. I went, and I actually enjoyed it. I gave plasma pretty quick, and, of course, the best thing about it was the money I got. Something pretty interesting about the whole experience though was when I ate the crackers and juice. Now, you really wouldn't think juice and crackers could make a big difference. But, I'm here to tell you that it does. Just as I had finished giving plasma, I stood up real quick and got pretty dizzy. I laid back down on the bed and asked if they could get me some crackers and juice. In a matter of minutes I was back to normal. Pretty crazy, but true. I'm not really sure why it works like that, but it does.
