Day one - May 7th, 2:53 AM

I'm sitting here awake in the red house, all my friends having gone to sleep. I'm leaving to go catch the bus in only a few minutes, but for now I wanted to start this and get my thoughts down.

After a grand few days, capped off by a great night of bowling, I officially say goodbye to many of my brothers in Phi Mu Alpha and Ann Arbor. Many of these guys are some of my best friends, and it's always really difficult not knowing when I'll get to see many of them next.

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

This speaks so truly right now. While I am sad that I won't be around these people for a while, I know that I had one of the most enriching and fulfilling years of my life thanks to these guys. They are immensely talented, deeply caring, and stalwart friends, all of which I am so grateful for that I had the opportunity to become this close to them.

With this, I must head out to another group of great friends - the Men's Glee Club. Here's to a great tour.

Go blue.
