I can't win with the red cross

Hey,

So i didn't get the jump, i needed, but yesterday was good. I actually went to class! Yay me! I had more free food compliments of CSU, hung out with Liz at the engineering thing that put the who to do on, and got to play catch.
It was rather disappointing when I went to donate blood. Liz was donating, and I haven't donated since MAy 1st, so I am way behind. So i went to be a walk-in. It was deadsville, so no problem. However, I was rejected for the 2nd time. This would have been my 8th pint (through the red cross, I have 2 pints donated through an organization in California) So I was ready to be a gallon donor. But, i have 2 tiny, microscopic pimples in the "stick area" or whatever it's called. And, so the nurse consulted the head honcho, and he confimed I would be unable to donate. Now, i am not happy, i hate not being able to donate over such a minor thing. THe are in a blood crisis, and these two itty bitty tihngs are preventing me from donating. I would understand better if it were something major. A serious problem with my health, or somewhere I've traveled, or something, but C'MON!!
I have actually donated before with similar small blemishes there, but the nurses recoznized they wouldn't be a problem. They haven't before. If you ask my brother what happen the first time i got rejected, he would not give a favorable report. Call me weak, but I nearly cried. I guess donating blood is one of the few things I take very seriously and am proud to do. I was so frustrated and out of it, that I nearly sideswipped someone trying to drive home. Ohhhhhhhhh my brother would not let me live that down.
I was able to keep my composure, but I think it was blatantly obviously I was not happy. ANd all i can do is just sit there while the nurse finishes up the paperwork, and she apologizes, and I know it's not her fault, so I don't want to take my frustration out on her. So instead I took 2 packs of cheese and peanut butte crackers instead of just one, because the owed me. So, hopefully my arms will clear up in the next two weeks. I don't event hink there's anything I can really do about it. Except just wait it out. So sorry if you need a blood transfusion in the next couple of months or so. I wish I could of helped, but I wasn't allowed
