I would like to start out with a little story of what happened in my room, Dunn 139 last night. I was perfectly content reading for my history class when all of a sudden i started to hic-up. You have to understand that these were not just your couple of hic-ups and you're done kind, they were extreme i would say. Patrick was in my room as well as my suite-mate Samie.
The next thing I know Pat is whispering to her and then comes over to me, jumps, waves his hands, and yells "BOO"- since you know Pat, you know he is not very scary so it didn't work, i still had the hic-ups. Then Samie and Patrick were whispering again, plotting and making plans against the hic-ups (I didn't really care that I had them because I knew that they would soon go away, but I guess that they were really bothering Pat and Samie).
Soon enough i was back to reading about John Winthrop and the Puritans Dilemma and heard some rustling around on the floor. I was on my bed, which is raised about 3 feet off of the ground, I noticed that Samie was gone. I looked down and saw that she was crawling around on the ground and then she jumped up at me and tried to scare me... with no luck. At this point the 3 of us were laughing and laughing and i was still hic-uping. After a lot of holding my breath and other remedies that didn't work patrick decided again that it was time to try and scare me.
I noticed that he was crawling around on the ground army style, but very loud- so it didn't work. Finally he went next door into Samie's room and they made a plan. I didn't know what the plan was so it was for sure going to be a surprise and hopefully scare the hic-ups out of me, but not the pee! After about 7 or 8 minutes there was a loud fury of knocking and banging on my door, and I knew that was Samie. It didn't work though. These extreme hic-ups were not going to be scared out no matter what!
That was the last thing that either of them tried and as soon as they stopped worrying about it the hic-ups were gone. After Samie and Patrick left my room and I was alone to finish reading and to go to bed I realized how wonderful my friends are- they cared so much about my hic-ups! We had so much fun and many laughs trying to get rid of them and I will not forget that night.
