Teaching the Final Frontier....???

Yes, it has been a while since my last blog entry...so lets begin...for those of you are into Sci-Fi; here goes my poor attempt at a Star Trek Captain's Log (as I am the "captain" of my department):

Captain's Log, Stardate 0804.21:

We are very close to coming to the end of our mission in the Gamma Quadrant, we have two months before arriving at Star Base 2008. For the past eight months, we have charted several new systems, and made contact with members of the MSHS civilization, which seems to be overly needy, critical and not advanced enough to be part of the Federation, but often tells the crew as well as the department heads what they can do to better the efficiency of the ship.

The Borg Queen is still attempting to keep the Federation at bay; her last communication with the members of the U.S.S. Sea Crown has really upset the overall attitude of the crew; additionally our First Officer, Cmdr. Studders and Operations Officer, Lt. Cmdr. Q6, are being re-assigned to another ship... Which has not settled to well with many members of the crew.

Like, the officers of the U.S.S. Enterprise, there were rumors that the transfers were because Lt. Speakswell and Lt. Cmdr. Q6 were engaged - there is no truth to this rumor. [Personal note: Its going to suck that the Cmdr is being transferred, he and I have just started to get to know each other better - and he is a great guy. Not to mention, if I am to continue on as the Ships Counselor, I am going to miss knowing that if i need support, I can go to him].

Additionally, the crew was hoping that the Borg Queen would be destroyed so that the Federation could flourish; but no chance of that happening. With the duty schedules due from the department heads, it is going to be interesting to see how things work out - hopefully we wont be running the ship on a skeleton crew early on next year.

Overall, it has been an interesting month and look forward to what the next few months has to bring us as we continue our journey.
