Today was a messed up day for me, as well as for many people in Kyiv, as it began with an air raid at 3 A.M., and the loud sound of explosions followed by the sound of the air raid sirens. Those were 10 ballistic missiles russia sent to our city, ruining apartment blocks and causing fire. Everything happened so fast, it was impossible for anyone to run and hide in any kind of a shelter. Now I'm afraid to sleep in my bed at night.
Yesterday I enrolled in a blood donation event at my university, all by my own initiative. I always wanted to be a donor and I finally got a chance to try this out. But I was unprepared for the food restrictions and mostly stayed half-hungry for the whole day, as well as the following morning. It also took me a lot of energy to get to the university on my own, because of the sleepless night and the lack of nutrition.
Mostly the people who were donating blood were the kids from the military department of our university, I guess it was compulsory for them to take part in this event, while I came on my own choice. I did the needed tests, got my blood type and pressure checked, drank some sweet tea and went to the classroom to have my blood drawn.
I'm not the type to be afraid of blood, nor was I forced to come here. I even argued with my grandma over me choosing to donate blood when some of my other relatives had problems with this before. Everything was fine until the very end, like 2 minutes before the needed level was reached. My body decided that hunger, tiredness and all the stress I've been under these days was enough and tried to make me unconscious. And when the doctors tried to help me, my stomach turned against my breakfast and ruined my sweater in the most embarrassing way possible. After that the pressure was normalized and I finished the donation without any complications, so I'm glad they didn't have to throw the whole portion of my blood out. The doctors made some jokes about hungry students (a funny stereotype in our culture) and made sure I had regained my strength before I went home.
The mobile service is yet to come back, so back then I only told my parents that everything was over successfully and went home, where I had a good amount of rest and washed my clothes. I still feel a bit lightheaded but mostly I'm very embarrassed. It's scary how it feels to succumb to your own body and I feel like I should have commanded it to obey and not to embarrass me in front of everyone. But I know that back then I barely understood what was going on around me, I had no power over myself at all. Still, next time I'll just make sure to eat well and to sleep well before donating blood. It just feels like I was a big child, helpless and dirty, and that I made a trouble for everyone. It ruined my happiness over finally trying to help my community.

marauders hcs ; exams
REMUS
starting off strong with the overachiever who bases his entire worth on how he performs in school
he spends most of fifth year studying, much to the other marauders' dismay
he didn't intend to start a study group, but he got into the habit of helping those who asked
and it spiralled
he was one of the only students to take three additrional subjects
so when the marauders were in a free period, remus was in Runes
he was the most prepared, and probably the most terrified
five minutes before his arithmancy exam, he was found chain-smoking in the courtyard
he passed everything with exceeds expectations, with an outstanding in DADA, care of magical creatures and arithmancy
PETER
he wasn't the brightest student, but the others got him to revise
even though he was one of the people who actually revised, he thought it was pointless
whenever remus was about to explode from the pressure, peter would calm him down
he was easily convinced to quit revising
often by james and sirius…
he chose divination because it's easy to bullshit
it was the only subject that the other marauders didnt take
honestly, he didn't put much pressure on himself, despite being a nervous person
partly because (most of) his friends weren't stressing, partly because his dad had ministry connections so he'd get a job regardless
peter surprised himself and passed almost everything with acceptable, bar divination (E) and potions (poor)
SIRIUS
sirius was one of those annoying students who didn't even open a textbook, but passed everything with flying colours
remus would tell him to revise, but he wouldn't
he took muggle studies and care of magical creatures
he finished his exams fairly quickly, and stared out the window for the rest of the allotted time
after everyone had finished exams, he threw a party for all the 5th year students (and a handful of the other years) in the gryffindor common room
sirius got a mixture of exceeds expectations and outstanding; he flunked astronomy on purpose, to spite his parents
JAMES
though he was naturally clever, he revised a fair amount
he though sirius and remus were psycho for taking three additional subjects
james did muggle studies and care of magical creatures
he pulled a cady heron and tried to persuade lily to tutor him, which didnt work
after classes, he was the sort of student to wrangle past papers off his teachers
"oi pads, bet you five galleons i'll get outstanding in transfiguration"
tbh he was an arse and also went
"oi, padfoot, i bet you 10 galleons snivellus will fail charms" "ugh, prongs, i don't wanna be down by 10 galleons…"
james got outstandings in everything, apart from history of magic, when he got exceeds expectations
pretty much everyone was annoyed by that, because HOW did james potter get near perfect grades
