Emily: What music do you listen to in the car? We hear you’re a good driver.

Jesse: …

Tess: Taylor Swift?

Jesse: Mostly just the radio.

Catie: 104.5

Tess: I love that station!

Tess: What’s it like at home? Do you guys hate each other?

Jesse: Yes.

Emily: Could we have an example?

Jesse: No, just kidding, we’re not mean to each other.

Catie: Yeah, he mostly just stays in his room.

Annika: So Katie we hear you sign language!

Emily: Where did you learn how to sign language?!

Catie: I had a counselor at a camp a couple years ago who was deaf, and she taught me the alphabet. And there’s this website where I also learned the first 100 signs.

Emily: So have you ever signed to a deaf person before?

Catie: No not really. I just sign to Jesse, who gives me weird looks.

*Cue weird look by Jesse*

Annika: So you both are runners right? If you could run anywhere in the world, assuming you had unlimited time and resources, where would you run?

Jesse: The Bolivian salt flats, because they are beautiful and when it rains you can’t tell the difference between the sky and the ground.

Tess: That’s amazing.

Annika: If you could pick an animal that describes the other what would it be?

Jesse: Katie is a weasel.

Catie: He’s a reindeer.

Emily: What is your favorite thing about each other?

Jesse: She makes me food.

Catie: He isn’t a weirdo?

Emily: Yes he is.

Catie: Okay, he sets a good example by being calm.

Tess: I see that.

Annika: What qualities do you look for in a partner in crime?

Catie: Quick thinking, and has a rope.

Jesse: Quick hands, and quick on their feet

Tess: So you basically want me as your partner in crime.

Annika: If you won the lottery what is the first thing you would do?

Jesse: I would buy a snowboard

Tess: You snowboard?!

Jesse: Yes.

Catie: …I would put it in a bank account?

*Emily snores

Annika: Okay, one last question. If you could try anything new tomorrow, what would you try?

Catie: I have always wanted to go to the top of the tallest building in Dubai and bungee jump!

Jesse: I would play the trombone.

Emily: Why?

Jesse: Because it’s an instrument.

Personal Statement?
