I had only droped by to see how things were going and how everyone was doing. I went with Bert to see the Sword training. When Zack comes up and challanges me to a friendly duel. I tried to not to be to mean, thou Athena was again there with the camera and got several good action shots.

Anyway, the rest of saturday was pretty uneventful. We learned a lot of theory, a lot of stuff about the supernatural. I proved my worth when the first aid class came around. I used to take classes bi-annually on the stuff, and tried to keep up to date. After coming home, I did some looking, and it turns out that the CPR methods I used were actually antiquated recently. That doesn't change the fact that I was tearing up the place with my skills as a medic.. I must be in the wrong business, eh guys? As a matter of fact, I became Gale's assistant, AKA victim #1, as can be determined from above. Even though I was the victim, I still went ahead and tossed my two cents in every once in a while when she was instructing. Most of the time I was trying to clarify what she was saying, but some of the time I was trying to become an even more realistic victim.

I think one of the more interesting courses over those four days was the one where we learned how to use the environment to our advantage. The idea of planning what you wear before you go somewhere, based on the environment you'll be in actually made quite a bit of sense, though I don't think I'll be stocking my closet with 15 different kinds of camo anytime soon... Sorry, Bert.

Well, camoflage is only really useful against humanoid enemies and things with perception based on Earth Life. If something can see heat signatures all the camo in the world ain't gonna help ya. The most important things to take from that class would be: There is No Safe Only Safer, How to Sneak Through an Urban Landscape, and Where to Find Weapons Anywhere.

I'm not sure when I laughed harder; watching Zach challenge you to a duel, or watching him fumble around with the training blade. :D

Your pretty handy there with a sword Shadow, maybe next time we can spar.

Two atoms were walking down the street. The first atom says to the second atom "I think i just lost an Electron!" The second atom replies "Are you sure?" The first atom says, "Am I sure? I'm positive!"

Mya, actually funny joke here:

- That's because I'm much older then you, Petka.

The guide of the Museum of the October Revolution demonstrates to visitors the skeleton of the Civil War hero V.I. Chapayev:

-And what is that small skeleton behind him?

-That is V.I. Chapayev in childhood, explains the guide.

Bert rocks.

He's definitely cooler than Russian humour.
