The Candy Bowl

I started school about a week ago. It's been okay- more on that later. Now, I want to share this short little story with you, that I'm sure you can all relate to.

At my school, fifth period is the period with the lunch shifts. I eat on the last lunch shift (helloooo, I am SO hungry by then!). Anyways, fifth period, being the longest of the day, is also when I have my journalism class. I'm on the newspaper staff. We have our own room or "lab" as we call it. It has tables and computers and now, it has a mini-fridge and microwave. So, problem number one: All we do in that class is eat. Like A LOT. Not unhealthy things, but still, we should probably stop eating so much.

When we were cleaning out the room last week we came across a (empty) candy bowl. Can you see where this is going? Everyone was bringing things in to make the room more home-y. (Our newspaper staff consists of 9 people and we LOVE each other. We're more of a family than friends.) So two people came up with a bright idea to go buy candy and put it in the candy bowl for everyone to share. You remember when I said that we eat all period long? Well, that now includes candy. And let's be honest, even PWD can't resist candy. So ate some. And some more. And some more.... OOPS. I bloused for all of it but of course my blood sugar was still super high all afternoon. Making me super tired and unproductive in the rest of my classes. AND made my dexcom beep in class twice today. UGH.

 
I'm gonna have to come up with a better idea on how to handle the candy bowl. Maybe we should just eat all the candy really fast and not bring anymore in? HA. That would end badly...
