Hey, Karen, it looks like you've got some sun this weekend.
Yeah, I guess so. I spent the weekend at the beach.
Oh, yeah, that's great. Where did you stay?
Some friends of my parents' live out there and they invited me for as long as I wanted to stay.
So what are you doing back here already?
Oh, 1 have a paper to work on, and I just couldn't do any serious studying at the beach.
I don't blame you. So what did you do out there? I mean besides lying out in the sun.
I ran slowly up and down the beach, and 1 played some volleyball. You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand. I couldn't even get through a whole game before I had to sit down.
Did you go swimming?
I wanted to, but they said the water isn't warm enough for that until a couple of months from now.
