a funny harry potter story that includes nikki e.

How many of you Covenanteers remember Nikki E.? She lived on 5th North, she was an English major, she was one of the drama people. She was in my SIP class.

For you non-Covenanteers, the SIP is the Senior Integration Project.

How many of you Covenanteers remember Nikki E.? She lived on 5th North, she was an English major, she was one of the drama people. She was in my SIP class.

For you non-Covenanteers, the SIP is the Senior Integration Project. Basically just the bachelor's thesis. My SIP was about Harry Potter, and I spent so much time researching HP that I called him my other boyfriend. "Well, Bob, I have to go out with Harry, my other boyfriend." (Bob, I'll just bet you are reading this. Didn't I say that once or twice at least?)

Well, during my senior year, in December, I got really sick. I had a sore throat for a week solid, and all my other cold-stages just took forever to go away! It was bad. I had no energy, I was trying to finish my SIP, I was teaching (pre-student teaching), packing because I was moving at the end of the semester, and trying to get ready for finals and finish all my research papers. It was rough. Well, I was in my bed one afternoon, and trying to nap, but I knew I had to go to class or something soon, so I had the radio on, and in honor of the premiere of the first HP movie, they had an HP quiz question. The ninth caller would win 2 tickets to the Chattanooga movie theater that was showing HP! Well, I was the 9th caller, and the radio guy asked if I was a mom or something and I said, "No, I am a college student, and I am writing my senior thesis on Harry Potter!" I was really excited because I had just won!

I called Bob and my sister because I wanted him to hear me on the radio. He didn't get to hear it, but I told him all about it, and we laughed and he said, "You mean anyone can hear it? Everyone could hear it? Some random person like Nikki E. could hear it and know that you won?" I laughed and said, yes of course, I was on the radio!

The next day in SIP class, Nikki asked me what I was doing on the radio, because she heard me! The funny thing was, was that she never listens to the radio, but she happened to be in her car and was testing the speakers or something, and there I was, saying "Oh my gosh! I won! I am writing my senior thesis paper on Harry Potter!"

I laughed so hard over that. I still laugh over it.
