The Necromancer's Attourney (aka. The Day In Review*)
Awakening to their second full day at Satori camp, campers stumbled
to breakfast in a state of near unconsciousness. Except for those
"special" individuals who happen to be morning people.
Greeted at the PUB by pancakes and grey sausage, some campers
ingested their morning sustenance, while others responded by creating
sculptures made entirely from Tawanka materials.
At morning classes, campers continued doing or learning what
they had been doing or learning at those classes the previous
day. For example, the writers at the Harold kept writing, the
actors kept acting, and, surprise surprise, the people in the
physics class learned about physics. I also have it from hearsay
that some campers even played a trick on the teacher of the physics
class. Let's hope he's a morning person.
Then campers progressed on to their midday classes, where they
also continued doing or learning yada yada yada. The Medical Ethics
class argued about cloning, the archaeology class sat in the sun
and dug in the dirt, the digital art class watched on as several
computers died, and the karate class did karate stuff like kicking
the wall.
Lunch featured a choice between giant ham and cheese sandwiches
and macabre enchiladas. I won't go into it now, but if you want
to read what happened, see the article entitled "The Macabre
Enchiladas."
During the afternoon session all sorts of fun stuff happened.
The Brain class talked about giant squid neurons (giant referring
to the neurons more than the squid) and how really powerful magnets
can suck shrapnel out of your body in one fell swoop. The Palm
music project (anything like Alan Parson's??) worked on composing
a 32 bar piece. I'm assuming that the Mixed Media Sculpture class
worked on sculpting with mixed media again. This involved a glue
gun casualty. Then there was rec. time. In the dance class, the
instructor had fun beating out time with a coat hanger and then
spinning around on a wheeled cart (all in time, I must say). Fencing
also started yesterday, and presumedly, no one was killed, as
we didn't hear anything of the type. However, it has been witnessed
that EWU has finally gotten new foil blades. Woo-hoo! Some people
swam and others slept.
At dinner, the courses were either macaroni and cheese OR chicken
nuggets and a baked potato. Not both, because then you would have
too many starches. This was rigidly enforced by the potato nazi.
Entertainment was provided by Wes Walker, singing "I'm a
Little Teapot" to retrieve his meal card and key. Later on
the camper gathered for the so-called Mystery Activity. After
the disappointing announcement that we would NOT be doing calculus
all evening, the counselors broke the news that we'd all have
to do Skit Night. Following a lovely renditionof "Little
Bunny Foo-foo," campers split into groups, and after 45 minutes
of preparation, managed to perform some entertaining, if not somewhat
disturbing,skits. These included Sean Connery (played by AsaSchurer)
insulting his opponents' mothers, the death of mob boss Adrian-I
mean Joey (aka Brendan Johnson), Wes Walker hitting on Captain
Picard (Rob Harder), several people biting the heads off of several
"bats," mass regurgitation caused by e.coli, an extremely
dysfunctional hospital, and a charming look at the Satori dance,
performed by our own counselors. Shortly after a concert put on
by Michaela Alden, campers were ordered to return to their floors,
where they collapsed on their beds, exhausted.
