Exciting! Detroit! You'll be right across the lake from me! Well, I do not attend columbia anymore, my parents wouldn't co-sign with me on my loan and thus ended up getting pushed out of the school, life is crazy and hectic but i'm working full time and have applied to the goodman theatre and other places to work somehow, i'm also trying to set up an internship wit second city or improv olympics, i definately miss being in the theatre like crazy! i moved out to wrigleyville though! I was lucky to have some friends who are renting me a three bedroom for an extremely unbeatable price!!! I'm so excited to hear that you're moving here to the midwest! get ready for crazy winter weather though, chicago was hit hard this year! Are you still taking up helpers at your camp???

Hey Jesse,

Since I know you miss having me at CGST doing my talent show thing. I made this in college with my residence hall buddy Haley. This is what happens when you have spare time at the beginning of the term and nothing to study.

Anyways miss you guys at CGST...
