I didn't get much sleep last night, and I haven't had any caffeine today.{{/U}} M: Sure, be careful. It's super hot. W: Thanks! I had problems with the homework too! I had to ask my older sister to help me with it. Andrea's home from college and was able to explain the solution to me. M: What college is she going to? Isn't it in California? W: Yes, she is going to the University of Asia Pacific, in Southern California. M: I thought that she wanted to go to Stanford. Didn't they offer her a scholarship? W: She was accepted at Stanford, but she fell in love with this other school. She was telling me yesterday how cool it was. {{U}}She loves it and the great weather, of course!{{/U}} M: Maybe I could talk with her while she is home on break. I have been looking at several colleges but just haven't found the right fit for me yet. I would love to move down to California and see the sun more often. I am tired of the gray skies and the rain in Washington! {{U}}Oh, by the way, can you spare some time to help me with the homework now?{{/U}} W: Sure.
