"Ugh, I'm so tired," is what many of the campers said when they crawled out of bed yesterday morning. Soon, they were eating a breakfast of potato wedges and "omlette du fromage." Some campers were intuitive enough to opt for a maple bar instead.

Once again, campers kept doing what they had been doing previously in their morning classes. For instance, the acting class took on different personas and "inter-acted." We at the Harold continued heralding the news. Presumably, the physics class continued their study of physics. (We the writers hope that it involved ballistics.)

During the midday session, the archaeology class did more digging, although some stopped to run through the sprinklers. In the poetry class, students worked on their poetry presentation for the feast. The ethics class had a lively discussion around the issues of cloning, stem cell research and genetic engineering. The other classes continued learning about their respective topics as well.

Lunch was held indoors as usual, but this time, oddly, the buffet had outdoor tent coverings set up over it. Campers had the choice between two mysterious sandwiches, both wrapped in tinfoil: chicken or veggie. Also served were beans, brownies, watermelon and salad. Responses to the meal (particuarly the chicken burgers) ranged from enthusiastic to repulsed. At this time, rumors of a cheerleading camp in Streeter began to circulate throughout the lunchroom.

Afternoon classes did a wide variety of activities. For example, the Mixed Media class learned soap carving, as well as working on their individual free-standing sculptures. In Your Brain, students learned about the human visual system and optical illusions, including phenomena like blindsight. The Palm Music class "made music with Palm Pilots," according to our sources.

Next, campers went to the PHASE for recreation time. Some campers went swimming, while others fenced with instructor Mike Page. The dance class upstairs put on music and practiced what they had learned previously, although a few campers were seen learning the lindyhop.

Afterward, instead of going to dinner at 5:00, Satori campers went back to the dorms where they met and donned their medieval outfits. Romans in togas, a British minstrel (later assassinated by Rob Harder), several priests, Patsy (the king's faithful servant), knights in full armor and many others were all seen going to the feast. Upon reaching the PUB, everyone formed lines to greet King Mike before going up to dinner.

When all the subjects of the realm of Satori were seated in the banquet hall, King Mike talked about the feast and was given a Jimi Hendrix album by the Society for Creative Anachronisms (SCA). The meat was presented before the king, who gave the word for the campers to eat.

The feast, as it is every year, was once again the best dinner of the week. Campers (all of whom used their best medieval ettiquette) were served either ribs or ham, as well as fresh vegetables, hot celery soup, and huge dinner rolls. Dessert consisted of miniature strawberry pies. Throughout dinner, the ladies of the SCA performed songs for the campers' enjoyment, including longtime favorite, "The Scotsman."

After dinner, the poetry class presented their work, and then everyone in the realm helped to move tables to clear the dance floor. Campers learned the Maltese, Hole-in-the-Wall, and the Karabushka. Once they had mastered the steps, the people of the SCA taught campers how to "shark," or cut another person out of the dance and take their place. However, not all the dancers were graceful - some practiced full-body-contact sharking. Campers got to show off their dancing skills as the music grew progressively faster. Finally, after the last dance, pictures were taken and the tired campers went back to their rooms to rest.
