They've All Gone Deaf It Seems.

Hi Jimmy,

There is an interesting virus taking hold at the fencing center, the more advanced students all seem to have gone deaf. They rarely seem to hear what I say, and to make matters worse, they have begun to pass on their own mis-information to younger students. When I correct them, they don't hear me either. Defenses have fallen apart, terrible form is taking over and everyone is increasingly slow.

The approach I used to use was to show up with my own gear one week, kick everybodies asses and they'ed listen again. Now, my knees hurt too much from the constant class load to consider doing this. Nobody cares enough to compete anyway, so without that extra spark, I will simply have to treat the group as recreational students, as opposed to on-going competitive students. Not much of anyway to teah finer points of counterattack and the like on a group moving this slow anyway.

BUT- I am tearing through basic carbs at school. I have rebuilt dozens in my life, but the theory of why they work is now upon me. Continued learning is always a plus, and though I've torn apart carbs countless times, I always find a new way to look at tings to find yet another aspect of it all.

Guess life without crack codes isn't good enough for most. Oh well, maybe I'll end up in a third world country with little electricity someday.
