This is a
recurring incident in my life that mainly happens at sleepovers, late nights,
and choir camps. I call it “tired hyperness.” One incident was when I was in
Eugene, Oregon with my choir where we were invited to sing at a Bach event and
a choir convention. At the choir convention we learned two songs that we sang
at the end of the week with some other choirs at a concert and had a lesson
with the conductor. My choir soon learned that it is much easier to learn songs
with about 50 people rather than 400. Every day we were getting up at 6:30 and
going to sleep at 11:30 and had practises with the other choirs throughout the
whole week. By the end all of us were falling asleep whenever we were not standing.
One night while we were in our rooms one of my friends started laughing for no
reason. Just hearing her laughing made me start laughing hysterically. It felt
so good to laugh, so we both started to try and make each other laugh harder. Consequently
we took my other friends stuffed penguin and pretended to make it fly, while
she watched on with confusion. This made my friend laugh even harder and she
fell head first off the 3 foot high bed but caught her hand and foot on the
other bed holding herself up off the floor. She was laughing so hard that she
could not pull herself back up on the bed and I was laughing on the ground
uncontrollably. I eventually managed to pull myself up and help her back onto
the bed. Now both of us were doubled over in pain as a result of laughing too
hard and tears were running down our faces. Once we finally laughed ourselves
out we were breathing so hard that it sounded like we had run a marathon in record
time. This is one of my experiences of being so tired that everything seems
funny.
