Moon facebooking

Haha, I didn't know you got facebook in space! Apparently the signal from earth is ok.
I got bored and when I started thinking about things to do I came up with Facebook. Too bad I don't have any friends or it might be fun and it's not like the government needs another way to get information about me. Maybe I should start a blog... Or try to find what happened to my parents... Although I'm not sure if I want to know of course. I found an awsome hiding spot behind the generator. It doesn't even get too hot, the cooling system works pretty well in this room.
It's not blank white like the waiting room and it's not quiet. I can't think of a better spot besides with friends. And since those don't exist I think I've got a winner.
Happy teen out.

teacher failed

Oh man, today was very enjoyable. It made for many giggles when the moon walk teacher was demonstrating the tether and then after about three steps he tripped over it.
One kid even yelled out,"oh no! Teach is floatin' off!".
It was most comical, the instructor of the class hanging upside down by a cord and the earth behind him.
No one else had trouble with the class though, not one person liked even the idea of floating off so they were quite cautious.
I personally think I did the best but I'm slightly biased.
Dunno what tomorrow is but I don't care too much.
P.S. I put a list of classmates under School: acquaintances: all

Short

Sorry about yesterday. I haven't died yet, I just lost my log. Got in big trouble for it and had to run like a million laps. Low gravity or not it's hard to run laps in a space suit!
Well im exhausted still from the running for just a quick post but I wanted tell you about the next training session, moon walking with no tether or anything! First with a test tether, if you use up a certain amount of tether you just "floated away". Sounds fun but hard, now I'm going to go take a nap, I'm pooped man!

Why not go to the dark side?

No training yet today either, were getting lucky. Maybe they want us to explore the base? Because it's not just me wandering around.
Oh and sorry for drifting off to sleep mid-post last night, I was exhausted.
So today I found, A. The crews quarters, and B. The solar generator.
The solar generator isn't too interesting but the solar panels attached to them are. The moon base is located in a crater actually so the panels are way up on the ridge. The moon base is down here and the panels up there for a reason. The moon base is down in a crater because it's cooler and there's less sun radiation so that means it can be a lot more simplistic. The solar panels are up there because they need sunlight almost all the time, even if we were up there too they would be in the same spots, it's the best spot this side of the moon to get sunlight.
I always wondered though, why are we on the "light" side of the moon if we want to be away from the suns rays. We could easily run wires to the base from the panels... Is there a real reason? Hmm, that's brain food,
