short day today.

i had school from first until sixth block today, all in the same room. it was the same thing all day: i read a book.
English class, they went over a test from three weeks ago that i didn't write. they were speaking German and i couldn't understand them, i read my book.
Math class, they went over a test from three weeks ago that i didn't write. they were speaking German and i couldn't understand them, i read my book.
after the test, they did some more hard math in German. no idea what it was about, i read my book.
we then ate cake, during which i read my book.
total elapsed reading time: about 6 hours. today.

went to Oma's house, where we ate potatoes, eggs, a facsimile of coleslaw and a rather awesome dessert: a cake base, with Jello on top with strawberries mixed in. it was awesome.

Bratwurst again for supper.

been thinking about martial arts again. not sure if thi is reasonale, but i always enjoyed the scenes in movies where one person fights many others. the others are just chafe being cut down before confronting the boss, as it always is, but still, if there is any martial art that specifically specializes in fighting multiple enemies as opposed to one, that may also be of interest. i am reminded of the scene in which Bruce Wayne is confronted initially by the ninja guy, in which he says (not sure of the exact wording, this is paraphrasing...maybe?) 'you know how to engage six men. we can teach you to engage six hundred.' i awlays loved that scene, although Batman never comes into contact with six hundred men to confront. unfortunatly, those skills seemed to overshoot the needs of the user. but i digress. i think that in any legitimate situation the only time i may be fighting one person is if they are bigger than me and have the elemnt of surprise, or in training. i haven't had a problem with physical confrontations since elementary (and i started most f those...), but i doubt anyone would be foolish enough to attack alone. martial arts are about defense, and as much as i love Taekwondo, the only time i ever am put into a position to fight ultiple opponents is in self defense (only certain scenarios) and in the rare 2v1 sparring match. this seems to be a pretty useful skill to know. if anyone happens to have knowledge on this subject, let me know? opinions are welcome.

yeah. and as usual, i am up late posting to my blog. awesome. well, this is it for the night, more details tomorrow.

bis dann.
