Apparently my professor has issue with me requesting that he call me Elliot in place of Sebastian. Dared to suggest that I should learn to appreciate the name I have been given, that Elliot is not superior to Sebastian and that children ought to stop changing how their parents planned to have them perceived. Sad, but I have many grievances with this matter—two specifically, however, remain at the front of my tongue and are eager to be shared.
Firstly: I have never been adverse to Sebastian, but, rather, find Elliot to be far more preferable—I take offense to think that someone would assume I rank names in any such order. Names, titles, et cetera cannot be listed from best to worst as though they were traits or well-tended-to roses in a garden-based competition; they can be regarded in the sense of what is preferable and what is least favored, however, and that is it. Furthermore, my family does not find issue with my request and were always happy to oblige. (I assume they were happy, anyhow. Perhaps I should write my mum and dad, or ask any of my siblings. Family, has there ever been a problem with my preferring Elliot?)
Secondly, and quite possibly most importantly, I am not a child. I have not been for eons. Though I am aware that in this lifetime I am fair a few many years to several and seek to maintain respect for my elders never mind that it is I who holds greater wisdom; however, it maintains to be unsavory to have someone who should be keenly aware that the possibility I am very much an old soul to regard me in such a condescending manner. Shame. I did enjoy the prospect of continuing education with him, but will probably desist to avoid any further less-than-enjoyable encounters as such.
I haven’t a purpose for my complaining—except, perhaps, to suggest: If you have arrived to this school, aware that we are all reincarnated forms of ancient and respected figures, and sought to teach and share the immeasurable wealth of knowledge perhaps you should not make the mistake of insulting the “children”. We may very well be older than you. And, honestly, it isn’t becoming in the slightest.

Thank you for that interesting phone call. I'm afraid you were cut off at the end and I could only catch - what I assume to be - a scuffle: would it be safe to assume that you had won that fight? What had you intended to sa Was it ArMy heart is racing.
