2 days ago, i was so hungry i left class to buy a snack from the vending machines outside the classroom. first off, the vending machine finessed me. i swiped my debt card, and it prompted me to select a snack. once i selected a snack, it prompted me to select another one. i only wanted one, but i said fuck it why not get a second snack. after i made my second selection, i was prompted again. there was no complete button, so i began hitting any and every button on the machine to exit out. eventually i hit the right button because instead of prompting me, it said transaction complete.
fast-forward to today. i had gotten two packs of sour patch kids. i ate one two days ago and stored the other for another day. in cell bio, my stomach rumbled and i began snacking on my second pack of sour patch kids. half-way through the pack, as i was swallowing a piece (no homo) it got stuck (no homo). i didn’t want to walk out of class, so i sat straight up hoping i wouldn’t choke. 20 seconds later, my reflexes kicked in and i ended up coughing the piece of candy up. i looked around, and nobody seemed to notice which was good, but that shit had me mad anxious.
i finished the rest of the pack and vowed to not skip breakfast another day. that and to not eat sour patch kids in class again.
