Showtime.

Well today was just like any other day. Ate the same breakfast that I literally have eaten every day this summer. Washed the face, read my bible, went to the gym; everything a man needs. Tomorrow will be a different story though. I will soon be waking up to a 2:30 am alarm; getting on a plane, saying goodbye to everything I have ever known. The the start of the craziest adventure of my life will be underway. A little melodramatic? Yeah probably, but truth nonetheless.

So, here it is. The night before - after months of preparation. Mom is making my favorite dinner. I'm watching movies with my friends just like any other day. Really, no better way to spend a last day at home. The aura of imminent change hangs around. As slowly as time passed this summer, it seems now to be barreling on like a train, even if I wish I could slow it down - it won't; it's time. The last post from the comfort of my couch concludes with this. From here on out, the words you read will be formed from parts all over the world. Adieu!
