Americans don't want European blood

18th of November
I was so excited to finally give blood! In Hungary, Red Cross doesn't come to the school, I'm not even sure if one can donate blood under 18. So I signed up, and I was sitting in the APAC in second block, I drank a bottle of water I was given, a nurse did all these tests, which proved that I'm healthy,  but at the end of the survey about past illnesses (no, I neve r had malaria, nor AIDS, I didn't take drugs. etc), BUT, I lived more than 5 years in Europe. This doesn't make me eligable to give blood in the US. If I was from India for example, I could, but from Europe, nope. Well, there was nothing I could do. I got a free, cool T-shirt though. 
  In PE, we started kickboxing. I was so happy! I miss my team and our workouts from home, even if most of the time I was the one getting beaten up. My joy lasted so far, when I realized that we were hoing to do cardio kickbox, which is the girly useless version of kickbox. Also, I soon found out I can hit harder than the student teacher. 
  After school, Anne and me, we went to Aldi. I love that place, we go to Aldi all the time in Hungary with my Mom, of course, the stuff are different in this store. 
  Late afternoon, I organized the kitchen cupboards, now it looks really neat. In the evening, I baked a Hungarian speciality for tomorrow's Rotary meeting. It was so difficult, it lasted till almost 2 with the cleanup.
