"Rise and shine" said Tommy Teletype. You have a half an hour to get ready for breakfas so get to it. So Bud got up and went to the shower area to take his moring show. Then he hurried back to his quansit hut to meet up with his roommates and head off to the picnic tables for breakfast.
The morinings meal consised to oatmean with orange juce or grape juice, ham, eggs, bacon and sausages, or vegan sausage. There was also soy milk available to drink.

Bud was in good shape. He always exercised at home anychance he got. So this was not a challenge for him. He walked the trail looking at all the wild flowers that were native to computer city. The big tall redwood try particulary fascinated him whith their huge branches and green leaves. Oh, the bark was beautiful. He wished his parents had a back yard big enough to plant redwood trees so he could sit underthen in the head and dream of far off galaxys.

The compuers were loaded withall the software and course material that were needed for computer lab. Bud was exstatic when he found his laptop and took his seat at the table.
The campers were not to turn on their computer until Mr. teletype gave the ok. So Bud waited patiently for the other campers to get their computers and get situated. Finally Tommy gave the ok and every one turned on their computers. The were greeted with what one normally sees when a computeris turned on.
