Siward
Posted on May 16, 2008 under random musings |Today in English class something marvellous occurred. Something so profoundly wondrous that I have dreamt of this day for months.
WE FINISHED MACBETH!
Though one of the last few scenes did inevitably bestow confusion and disappointment upon me.
I was sitting in class, of course only half following the goings-on of Macbeth. All of a sudden I heard my English teacher say ‘blah blah blah C WORD blah blah blah.’
Wait a minute. Hold up. Rewind. They use that kind of language in Shakespeare? AND I MISSED THIS ALL ALONG?
Oh how stupid I was for falling asleep during the play.
My attention was immediately restored, and I began to search profusely for the C word.
‘Where is it? I CAN’T FIND IT!’ I thought in a fluster.
Then he said it again, ‘C word.’
I finally managed to locate where my teacher was reading, though I was unable to uncover the ‘C word.’ I followed where he was reading, and then learnt that there was a character named ‘Siward,’ pronounced ‘C word.’
I then, despite the fact that nobody knew, felt like a tool.

Gotta love it. My English professor decided to swear the other day. It was quite hilarious. He went through the whole spectrum of swear words. This would be even more entertaining if knew my professor.

Poor Siward… must have had an awful childhood as the butt of every C word joke.

My professors cuss all the time. It’s a must to have a good class. It definitely makes people pay attention and stay wide awake.

Yeah, some of my professors close the door simply so they can say what they really think.
