Day 4: When you forget to pack a lunch

Waking up Thursday morning my alarm not ringing. I looked down at my phone and its 8:46am... I have exactly 14 minutes to get up get dressed and run to Jepson for class. In this process packing my delicious dollar tree pb&j completely slipped my mind.

The first stomach growl was at 10:30 on the way in to my second class of the day and the realization hit that I am not done until 3:00pm today. Any other week I wouldn't think twice about not having any food with me. I'd stop at Lou's or Passport quickly in between class and use my fake money to grab a snake.

My third class of the day the stomach hunger was gone but I was tired. Focusing on the interesting ins and outs of Managerial Accounting was harder than usual. I kept thinking how hard it must be for those who are malnourished to focus and be efficient while working.

Last class of the day my wellness... only an hour and half left until I can run to my dorm to eat. I sat staring at the clock until finally my teacher said "have a nice day everyone"

Running back to north court I grab my jar of peanut butter and a spoon and dig in not wanting to waste time putting it on bread.

After stuffing my face with many many spoonfuls of peanut butter I decided to change up my lunch and make myself a cheese tortilla. At home this is my specialty, One minute in the microwave I make the best quesadillas that are cheese loaded and with Tacobell sauce packets. Here I am settling for dollar tree tortillas and shredded 'cheese like' product. 

Two minute in the microwave:
Absolutely nothing melted.
Finally after 4 minutes, despite that the tortilla was now on the harder side the cheese was beginning to melt together enough to enjoy a bite.

Having only eaten peanut butter and cheese like products today I was looking forward to a good dinner. I choose lasagna with Alfredo sauce.

After eating I started to think about dessert. That is something I really miss having after a good meal. I thought about my favorite mint chocolate chip ice cream that no matter what I ate before I would always have room for. I swear I spent the rest of the night thinking about how great a bowl of ice cream would be right now.
