DLA 2010 Day 4 by Mayci Shimon

It's the day after Bastille Day! Aw, fiddlesticks! So with our official DLA holiday passed, it would appear we now have to move on in the camp.

So today has been a remotely eventful day, starting with waking up at 6:30 AM for alone time in the bathroom; unfortunately, due to a lack of air conditioning control, our dorm was freezing. We're only allowed approximately eight degrees of temperature control in Sunderland.

Breakfast consisted of various things including exhausted campers and failbacon. RA Chad (a.k.a. Ponderbeard) also provided us with an interesting story. Apparently, when he finishes college and lives in Chicago, he's going to buy a coffee machine. With said coffee machine, he will make coffee for the smell alone; he hates coffee in general. On his way to work, he would then take the unwanted coffee and provide the friendly neighborhood hobos with a warm drink.

After breakfast, I headed to my Digital Photography class to marvel in the wonders that amount to Photoshop. After completing a few assignments, we headed out to lunch, followed by the second class of the day: The Art of War.

Under the influence of our spectacular teacher, we continued to persevere through a lesson over the causes of war along with tactics. Next, came our daily viewing of Deadliest Warrior, starring the Viking and the Samurai. The Viking was defeated; a fatality was inflicted upon him by the unflinching Samurai. After various games of Mau and ERS, we learned our own tidbit of kung fu and were off to station time, which consisted of some intense Connect Four matches.

Following station time and dinner, we met up in our Leadership in Action committees. Our newspaper team gathered around for discussions and a movie.

Then we were off to Clara Thompson for the one and only Skinny Improv, followed by RC Chance and RA Wayne. Chad later joined as did camper Troy Squires. Following a very entertaining skit of sorts, most of us headed out for a thirty-minute swim. We finished up with a community meeting starring The Nightly News. Topics included highlights of the BP Oil Spill, Elvis vs. The Beatles, the weather, and Ask Hebert. We finished up the night with Mau and suite mingling only to crash at 11:30 PM.
