Hey … WHAT’S UP??? Stay away from the ruts. But if you’re in one, try try try to get out of it! We’re looking at ways to get out of that rut. That’s what’s up!
Welcome everyone to episode number 7 of English Teacher John’s ‘What’s Up? Podcast.’ My name is John Koons and I am your host.
Hey, I’M IN A RUT. HE’S IN A RUT. SHE’S IN A RUT. Hey, GET OUTTA THAT RUT!!! R-U-T RUT. What is a rut? Well, a rut is something that you definitely don’t want to get into or fall into. You know when a car travels on a muddy unpaved road. Then the next day it’s sunny and all of the mud dries up … and what’s left on the unpaved road??? Yes. Some deep ruts where the car tires passed when the road was soft. Those are ruts and if you’re on a bicycle or motorcycle you know that once you’re in those ruts, well, FIRST, you’re situation is a little more dangerous, and SECOND, it’s not so easy to get out of those ruts, is it??!! So, what do you do??? You just take the path of least resistance and continue to follow the ruts. Continue the way the car went. Continue on the same path as the previous people. Continue doing the same thing, following the same path. No changes. Nothing new. No new decisions to make, no new challenges to face, no new territory to explore, just FOLLOW THE RUTS LIKE YOU’VE BEEN DOING.
