DLA Day 2 by Mayci

The third day of camp; the second day of classes; we're kicking it off. After a relatively uneventful morning round-up and breakfast, the campers shoved off to classes. Philosophy for me, taught by the legendary Scott Henderson, otherwise known as the coolest teacher ever. Today's class consisted of "Doctor Who," and a newfound fear of statues as a result. Also, we discussed the ideas and beliefs of various pre-Socratic philosophers, such as Democritus, Thales, and Pythagoras. The class was concluded with the beginning of "The Adjustment Bureau" and the appearance of a frightful statue.

After the morning class, students trekked through the heat to the cafeteria to get their mandatory glass of water and their nom-noms on. At my table, we participated in Branson Carmichael's renowned game: Urban Legend. The game relies entirely on your decisions and dialogues, as well as Branson's imagination and subjectivity. By the way, you ALWAYS die.

Students proceeded to the afternoon classes. Mine? Extreme Math. It's as fun as it sounds. :)

Next? Free time. Pool, games, dorm, and so on. Afterwards, we shoved off to dinner, where the atmosphere became tainted with the fear of the infamous Midnight Mayhem. But, y'know, who knows if we'll ACTUALLY do it this year? ;)

After dinner, we went to our committees, and then Beth's leadership activity. Now, the campers were convinced. Midnight Mayhem? Totally going to happen. We proceeded through various strategy and teamwork activities, and then...!

No. No Mayhem. New suspicious date has been established...

Thursday.

I say, "Bring it."
