December 22. 2351

It took four days of searching but I found a portable power unit. I also found an old journal that I mistook for a datapad before I picked it up. This thing is really old. At least 300 years old.
I had to loot nearby houses for supplies. I didn't realise my neighbour Alex was such a history expert. I don’t know where he went but he's not here. If he isn't looting then he is probably dead. I've been looking over his pads on this old junk that he has been collecting and I realise if this record of humanity is going to be seen by the people of the future then I am going to have to explain what everything normal is so that they understand. I mean this journal I found, I have no idea how it was made. The outside is black, it seems to have been stuck together at one end on the inside by adhesive I guess, the inside has lots of bits of yellow things and the weird thing is there is writing on it like you get on a datapad but there are no minikeys anywhere on this thing. According to Alex the writings were made by hand using an implement that had ink on it, or in it, I don't know and that's my point. I can read and understand this journal so that means this person is part of my history but I have no clue about the things from her time. I'm so confused.
