It was funny the way it worked. Half of my teachers were all like "Be on your best behavior, the ed-adjutant's coming tomorrow." And you know, they'd clean up nice, they'd have lesson plans, laser pointers, etc... But others (the smart ones, i think) were like...hiding all the expensive shit- all the holoprojectors, the digital posters, you know, all the cool, futuristic shit down in the basement. I guess they figure if we look poor, the adj'll push for more funding...

I'm sick of talking about disposal blocks. Two months...no clonclusions. I feel like one of those little white-coated lab rats on one of those spinning wheels. Running in circles. The Controller is all fire and brimstone about keeping space clean...so he wants us to develop a low cost way of sending all of the waste from the conony into the sun. Why don't we just...send it all into Jupiter instead? It would probably have a similar effect.

It's so different here. It's definately better, though. Everything is so perfect, so...Utopian. It almost doesn't seem real. There's never any rain except for fire drills, no cloudy days or...weather of any sort. Oh yeah and low gravity is so much fun! It's a little scary at first, but once you learn to jump around and do flips and stuff it's amazing! It all seems so new, so clean and like...efficient, you know? Oh and the night life is incredible, too. No drinking age, legal pot, super low-gravity raves, and really sweet clubs, too.

The expansion plan is quite bold for the next ten years. Were supposed to put the Martian terra-forming project on the back burner and redirect our efforts to building a new colony, even bigger than B4. The blueprints just arrived from the research block yesterday. How the hell can they expect us to build something like this in just ten years?
