<p>It also helped that my dad was a physics major and occasionally talked about lasers and optics with me when I was bored. </p>
<p>Is this sentence redundant? As in the "occasionally" and "when I was bored" part.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>i think it is, a little bit...hard to notice tho... i was thinkin, how is that redundant?? when i first read that...</p>
<p>if u think there might be an error, u can absolutely avoid it... it's not like u can't do without a couple of words or anything, right?</p>
<p>Eliminate the "when I was bored." It's grammatically correct, but doesn't add anything. It also does not improve a reader's view of you.</p>
<p>Agree with ^</p>
