Red cough drops have nutritional value, right? They must fall under some category of food group--fruit! Yes, that's it, fruit. Great, one food group covered for the day.

It's funny. You go to school and accrue a debt load of over $40 000 (that would be my debt, not partner's) even though you work 20+ hours a week while in school, and you end up having your stomach growl while in class.

You graduate, move on, partner has tenure-track job and....you still are starving.

Of course, this situation is only temporary and I shouldn't be complaining. I know that the financial situation is going to be resolved in a matter of a week or two, but on the other hand, going hungry should not be such a normalized thing for me (or anyone else for that matter).

Partner has included on syllabi a note to students that if any of them are hungry or need food they should call home phone number, because one cannot learn on an empty stomach.

Faculty Wife thinks that Partner may need to call in the favour and tell students that Professor cannot teach on empty stomach.
