The Eleventh of August, Two-Thousand-and Eleven


Today we awoke to the harmonizing cacophony of the Semipalmated Plover mingling with the steady drone of the Churchill Public Works Department dismantling an abandoned tunnel. 
The cacophony that awoken us.
  
We then proceeded to cleanse ourselves before partaking in a hearty morning meal consisting of heated Avena sativa (oatmeal).  We cleansed our palates with Dentifrice and dihydrogen monoxide before setting about our activities for the day.  Although today was not an eventful day, it was a very important day. 
The astonishing Ramsay Trail.

Throughout the morning and mid-day, we viewed several documentaries, the majority of which contained valuable information and interviews related to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.  Several photographs and videos of our class were taken by employees of Tourism Manitoba for promotion of Churchill.  During this activity, the class was able to explore the origins and consequences of global warming.  Overall, it was satisfyingly stellar series of videos and lessons.

Once the morning’s activities and lessons were but a blur in our memories, it was time for our second meal of the day, lunch.  (We couldn’t find a scientific name for lunch)  Lunch consisted of Oryza sativa (rice), Phaseolus vulgaris (bean) salad, and a casserole of cheese and ground Bos primigenius (Cattle).  We cleansed our plates with dihydrogen monoxide and continued with our various scholarly endeavors, some experienced more hardships than others. The class produced such sophisticated and profound responses that the educational facilitator was without speech. By 16:00, the class, minus a few, decided to trek across the barren tundra.

The expedition along a Bryophyta (moss)-covered trail was exhilarating, to say the least.  While partaking in this voyage, we were witness to several aged rocket missiles that were launched several years prior to our existence with the intent of obtaining information about the atmosphere.  The surface of these rockets was covered in oxidation.  One jolly student was possessed with the bright idea to use a component of this disused machinery as a cranial shield.  Upon our return to the Churchill Northern Studies Centre we nourished our bodies and minds once more before proceeding to burden our brains with knowledge about the impending final evaluation.  The day came to a close with an educational documentary, which was bursting with intellectual value.  Overall, educational value was plentiful today and concluded with yet another cacophony, this time consisting of classic rock, courtesy of our brilliant educational facilitator.
