Now, I am sure that her condition is some sort of tragic long-term respiratory affliction, and that is most unfortunate. I am also sure that it cannot be fun to continually sound like a broken pair of baby lungs, especially since chapel is generally quiet except for the speaker and EVERYONE can hear you. But every time I try to approach the situation with empathy, feeling bad for her awkward lungs, etc, I hear the sniffle-cough-hic sound over my book and all my muscles tense up because it is TOTALLY GROSS.
Suffice to say, I think I will be better at empathizing with this poor girl when I am seated (hopefully), very very far away from her in chapel next semester.
