Chief Counselor's Personal Log Stardate: ________

I'm looking at the star lines outside my window and I still can't believe I'm out here posted on a ship. After so many years at star fleet medical I was certain I was going to spend all of my career planet side. Of course I was also sure by this age Sera and I would have a family. Who knew I wouldn't even have Sera? But I digress.

I'm quickly becoming accustomed to life on a starship, even after only a handful of days. I've started crew evaluations and all the paper work that comes with being newly appointed to an office. It seems like at the beginning of any post you start 3 weeks behind on paperwork. At least I am working again.

I met the Chief helm officer today, Mykel is his name, he had his evaluation. He's a true orphan, the only one I have met in my life actually, Earth solved most such problems centuries ago. He is surprisingly well adjusted considering, I think with some friends and practice in the social arena he is going to be just fine. It says something to human perseverance. I think we will probably take a meal or two together to help him break the ice with the crew.

The whole ship has been terribly busy making preparations for the mission on Neverra. I'm anxious to see this planet and meet these people. After all the study of great cultures and exploration was what brought me out here in the first place, aside from not being able to stand the sight of my home without my wife in it.

The crew seems friendly and the fast pace environment keeps me busy. Though I feel I definitely made the right choice in leaving Earth, it hasn't eased my grief to be away from those memories as I had hoped. Anyway, enough of that, I have another full day of evaluations tomorrow and an entire culture to brief myself on.
