Yesterday I fainted in my adviser's office.
It was the strangest thing, one minute we were standing in front of the white board talking about statistics and then all of a sudden my vision goes black and the next thing I know I'm on the floor with a very concerned adviser propping me up.
I was pale as a ghost with sweats and shakes for a while but once I got my blood sugar up I was okay. Felt a bit hung over this morning but with none of the fun times last night. Fellow students were in awe that I worked so hard I literally passed out, but to be fair I'd given blood 6 hours before. Although I'm sure stress contributed, since I've never so much as felt light headed after donating before.

I remember reading about how in certain parts of Asia and in Macedonia, people use cormorants to catch fish.
The fisherman uses a ring or tie on the bird's neck so it won't be able to swallow the fish it catches.
Every seventh fish the fisherman has to give to the cormorant or else the bird will stop fishing.
And if I remember correctly, after a few years, the cormorant won't fish for the fisherman any more.
The cormorant would rather starve than lose all but the seventh fish.
Except maybe that last part isn't true.

I always feel light headed after donating blood... maybe the fact you didn't notice a change should have been a sign?
