Dear Ted,
I hope you are well. My exams start next week, so I haven’t had time to keep in touch. The last time you wrote, you said you had started doing shows at the comedy club. That’s great! I remember how you always used to make us laugh until we cried. I’m glad you’re finally able to show off your talents.
School is OK. Some of my classes are great, and some are awful. My astronomy class should be interesting, but the professor somehow found a way to make it boring. But I love my literature class! My professor is passionate about the books we read, and she really knows how to keep us interested.
I’d better get back to studying, but please write again soon. Tell everyone hello for me, and I’ll try to be better about staying in touch.
Your friend,
Gordy
