Rainey studied in London, England, this past spring. Europe is probably one of the best locations to study, because there are so many different countries so close toge ...

It's Not So Bad!
All summer long, you got the chance to go to the movies with your friends and talk about how great The Karate Kid was, and the anticipation for Eclipse alone made you feel perfectly happy. You went to cookouts with family, hung out at the beach to get a tan, played some volleyball or took soothing walks just to enjoy the weather.
