Day 15, 0815, Houston Time. Leaving Orion Spiral Arm.
We are now clearing away from the Orion Spiral Arm, and in a few hours, we'll be completely out of our home galaxy. The past few days are... kind of... uneventful. That's a good thing, for an astronaut. But needless to say, a life in space is boooring. Tch. Ha! Doctor Mulligan and Doctor Jennings are goofing around the zero-grav part of the ship like little kids -- killing the boredom, they say. I think they're playingt some sort of an Astronaut's Quidditch. Crazy.
Okay. Uhh... I'm feeling a bit weird, now that we're almost out of the Orion. I feel like I'm an... alien. Something like that.
The living quarters are homely and nice, and bringing Darwin with us, our Food Specialist, is a big, big, BIG plus, for, thanks to him, we don't have to eat out of tubes. The ship is very stable that it gives us the sensation that we're not moving at all. Floor's as firm as the Earth's ground, I swear. The respiration unit that we have in here: fabulous, and our Circadian rhythms aren't getting messed up, since we could regulate Tinkerbell's inner lighting. No shit. Sometimes, when I wake up, I feel like I'm in some nice hotel room or something. Thing is... even with all these, Tinkerbell still doesn't feel like home. I'm an alien in an alien home in an alien space. This isn't homesickness, really. And it's not as if I'm feeling lonely. I just feel...uhm...
Wierd.
