Mr. "R" asked us to use a different name, such as a nickname, when referring to him in our blogs. Of course, I have chosen a nickname which is relevant to him and is neither rude nor offensive. After sitting in class today and talking about "King Lear" and his journey through a disastrous storm (after being kicked out of his daughters' castles), I noticed that Mr. "R" says 'essentially' in almost every other sentence. Of course, that is not to say that I am making fun of him. Everyone has personal habits, and I know that for a fact. Many of my personal habits revolve around music. I have had a lot of bad drumming habits, and often found myself writing parts that were very repetitive and similar fills that lacked originality. It's hard to dig out one's way out of a situation like that, therefore the terminology "writer's block."
So back to today's story... I'll admit that I was not very focused... At all. I ended up counting the number of times Mr. "R" said the word 'essentially'... 14 times. Again, there's nothing wrong with that. Mr. "R" is the man and everyone knows it. But, from this moment on I will refer to him as 'Mr. Essentially' in my blogs. I guess if you look at it from an enlightened perspective, it could resemble a scholarly-like individual, so there you go.
