From "Degrassi" Guy Jake Epstein!

Hey CosmoGirl! readers:

Hope you're all doing well. Before I start I wanna say that I just finished my final College class for the Winter break. I mean I literally just finished......like 10 minutes ago. I'm in Montreal, Canada, right, and taking classes in acting. Life is sweet. I'm in one of the prime party cities in the world; home to gorgeous girls, very funky people, and great friends. Glad I have this CosmoGirl blog to emote.

I've been told I get to use this blog to reveal my deepest darkest secrets to you all for the next couple weeks. I'm going to start by filling you in on my life right now.

Alright. I wrapped filming of
The N's Degrassi: The Next Generation at the end of this past Summer. Since then, I've moved to Montreal to go to school...but really, to live in Montreal. Having my own apartment has been incredible. I room with an awesome girl that I went to high school with. Total freedom. The world is my oyster. Besides, of course, the little difficulties: like learning to do my laundry, cooking food, and adjusting to living with a girl. Besides all that, I feel in control of my life!

Plus, I'm slowly learning how to speak French. It's not so hard to learn, or to speak, but understanding it has been impossible. I can't keep up with the speed of it. Last night, I went to a Tim Hortons and asked for "un grand café, double-double" which I thought was right. So there I was waiting for my large, double-double coffee, when the person responds with "quelle sorte de café a tu" which made me feel totally lost. Then I gave up. "Yeah. Just a mild coffee please." I don't feel discouraged though. I'm going to keep trying.

In terms of any girlfriend or lady situation here in Montreal, it's been exciting. I've been going out with this girl for the past couple weeks. Nothing too serious. She's a student at McGill, and really smart and fun. I hope we're going to stay together during the Winter break. Got any good advice for me? ;)

Alright. Enough for now. I have some partying to do tonight. Tell
you all about it later. Hope you all had a happy holiday season and write me any time!

Much love,
Jake Epstein
