It's time to PUMP
Did you know that every 2 seconds and about 1 in 5 people entering a hospital need blood.
So today, May 2nd, 2006 I donated blood on campus. I've done it several times before even though it's not one of my favorite things to do. It's tooo amazing to think that you could save 3 lives by just your 1 pint of blood. The fact that I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for a blood transfusion is quite powerful. So it's the least I can do. Well today was an experience of donating blood unlike any other. I got my friend Ariel Trocino (she was in Tartuffe with me ;-) ) to donate with me and she has done it several times before and is a "pro". So we go through the screening and we're sitting in the chair hooking up and she gets "pumping" before me. We then get the idea that we want to race! GAME ON! I was squeezing the bally thing they give us like no tomorrow. Needless to say, THIS GIRL WON and i have TERRIBLE veins. They always have to poke around to get at mine, but the nurse today was amazing she got it first try. So Ariel owes me lunch :-) Our friend Carrissa was there too for moral support so she provided some nice hard core entertainment. We were pretty much laughing and causing a scene it's okay though. haha All in all it was a great time! If you have the chance I highly suggest you do it with some people and get a free lunch out of it ;-)
Alright well what else has been going on in the wonderful life of Kelly Cross? WELLLL, this past weekend was the production of Tartuffe! It went super well and was a blast!! I was able to get really close with the cast and we had a lot of good times! We had a good crowd every night too, so every production was fun! It was quite time consuming and made getting school work done and basketball post season pretty much impossible, but there is nothing I'd exchange that experience for....ever. Thank you cast and crew!!!!!!!!!!
I sent in my deposit for Spain this summer last week so Natalie and I are definitely going!! We leave May 31st from the JFK airport! I'm soo pumped! We're not traveling with the program (The Center for Cross-Cultural Study) so we're on our own which is good in a way because we'll have to be independent and get ourselves to the hotel in Spain all on our own. CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Alright well that's about it for now! Any questions about anything hit me up!
God Bless!!!
