Tests and pencils

Today we had a test, yay.
Oh speaking of which, I knew I was forgetting something. Writing all my notes in my log and telling you about them.
I'm so used to using a paper and pencil that I forgot I should use my log.
Anyway, we had a test today and I hope I did ok, the test can even send people back home so we have to get a good grade in the curve. It's rather nerve racking but I just had to remember that a regular test is similar, if you fail enough you get sent home eventually.
I've noticed I write less when it's been a stressful day so I'll write another peom, just to keep me busy longer.

Schoolwork so bland
In this foreign land
Is frustrating indeed
Especially when you need to speed
But even worse
Than a curse
Is a pop-quiz

The food stinks

I feel whiny today so I'm going to complain about the food.
The food stinks!
They freeze dry about 50% of everything we eat, it can be fun but wierd. The ice cream is probably my favorite if I had to choose a food. Its like compacted sawdust when you put it into your mouth but when you chew it for a few seconds it turns into kind of a pudding. I almost never had non-freeze-dried ice cream so I don't have much to compare to but I think it's almost as good.
It seems forever since I've had a piece of fresh fruit, I would even be happy for some fresh veggies.

I wish I had veggies
All moist and green
If they aren't freeze-dried they have a wonderful sheen
Oh how wonderful they are
I only wish they had them up on this desolate star.

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!
Teen to Sleep

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,
