Author's Notes:- Thanks to Stonedtoad.
For those who wished me to write more, sorry it took so long.
My second month at the SGC isn't so bad. I'm not allowed off the base so I have to content myself with reading Dr Jackson's journals, mission reports and books and watching the television, which is a great device.
I've decided to keep a notebook of my own so I can make notes on everything here.

I am allowed in most areas of the base but I spend a lot of my time in the office, I can't bring myself to think of it as mine yet, and the commissary. In the office I go over everything that the SGC has accomplished over the years but in the commissary I watch the members of the SGC.
I have found some interesting food on offer, especially the fruit. Apples are very similar to Rhosans except they are green and red skinned with white flesh where Rhosans have orange flesh and yellow skin. Banana's are my favourite that's because they taste like Dyrye except Dyrye are about ten times bigger with dark purple skin and red flesh.
Almost everybody comes down to the commissary at some point during the week.
I watch everyone listening and trying to understand this world I've hidden myself on.

Teal'c offered to allow me to work out with him so I could get away from all my books and allow me to defend myself in case anything invades the SGC, which from what I've read isn't outside the realms of possibility. I accepted happy to have someone to talk to and of course getting out of the office for a while is a good thing. All work…I believe the phrase starts but no one ever seems to finish the sentence probably because everyone already knows what it means. I really should ask someone but I'll probably just get given the 'look'.
I get it a lot. This stare that people give me when I'm asking about something they're so used to then they seem to remember I'm not really from here. The 'look' is really getting on my nerves but I'm guessing my strange questions get on their nerves.

I discovered something very unusual on the computer in the office. I think it's a game but it seemed very militaristic for the office's original owner.
"What are you doing?" Major Carter asked with a laugh when she walked in to find me arguing with the computer.
"I found this," I explained, "I'm just having trouble using it."
She laughed, "This is what's called a God Game."
"A what?"
"The player tries to build up a civilisation to a high technological level through either war or peaceful means," she smiled sadly, "I never knew Daniel had it."
"I…if you want…I…"
"You should keep playing," she told me, "It's fun. Anyway the reason I was here."
I looked up at her waiting; Major Carter usually arrived with something new for me to experience.
"Janet mentioned you liked the classical composers," she handed me a CD, "I thought you'd like this one."
"Thank you," I opened the CD player and popped my new one in, as the strains of the music filled the room Major Carter gave me a nod before she left again.
She seems to be warming to me a little which I'm glad of. Major Carter is one of the smartest people I have ever met and if she's talking to me I can ask her questions without worry.
Colonel O'Neill still hates and avoids me which to be honest I'm glad of. I can't seem to get rid of the feeling of being a nuisance around him.
Although I still worry about what's going to happen to me, I like Earth. Well what I've seen of it. The wealth of knowledge is incredible.
Maybe I'll be allowed out of the base soon so I can see everything.
