On weekdays the alarm-clock wakes me up at 7.30 and my working day begins. I'm not an early riser, that's why it's very difficult for me to get out of bed, especially in winter. I open the window to let the fresh morning air in, switch on my music centre and do my morning exercises to the music. Then I go to the bathroom, take a warm shower, clean my teeth and dry myself on the towel. After that I go to my bedroom, do my bed and get dressed.
Usually my mother makes breakfast for me. But when she is away on business or just doesn't have to get up early, I make breakfast myself. While having breakfast, I listen to the latest news on the television.
I leave the house at 8 and go to the nearest bus stop. But very often I go to the University on foot with some of my fellow students, as it is not far from our house. It doesn't take me long to get there.
I am a full-time student of the Day Department of the University. We have 3 or 4 classes a day. Our classes last for an hour and a half, as a rule. I'm proud of the fact that very good and famous professors teach at our University. Most of our lectures are very interesting and we don't notice how the time flies. But unfortunately sometimes they are too boring and we can hardly stand them. Besides all different subjects, we have English classes as well. We have two (four) English lessons a week. I have to spend much time in the reading-room of our library to get ready for the next day classes. It is not so easy to study at the University but I feel great satisfaction when I think of the future. At 3 o'clock I leave the University for home. At home I have my dinner first. After dinner I have a short rest: I listen to my favourite music, read books or just watch TV. Then I sit to my desk in the study and start doing my homework for the next day classes. It takes me much time to do it, you know.
In the evening when my parents come home from work, their supper is usually ready and tea is hot. I get it ready for them. We have our supper together. Then we sit in the living-room, talk to each other, discuss our problems and try to help everybody. At that time we usually sum up the results of the day and think of our plans for the future.
Sometimes I go for a walk with my friends when my homework is done. Very often we go to the Volga embankment. It is our favourite place in the city. We walk there, sometimes we sit on a bench and talk and enjoy a lovely view on the river. It is especially pleasant to walk there in autumn and in summer.
Occasionally I have to stay at the University till 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening. When I have a lot of things to do, I go to the library, laboratory or our computer centre to work. We often have to write different tasks, tests and make reports on different topics. But it is very interesting. They say 'No pain no gain'. I fully agree with that saying, because to my mind if a person wants to succeed in something he must work hard.
So as you see, I am very busy especially during the examinations. It is a very hard time for all students, you know. But after the exams are over we are happy to have our holidays. It is a real enjoyment and time for our hobbies and interests.
All the same I can say that I like being a student.
As for the bedtime, I can't say that I always go to bed at the same time. It depends on the things I have to do. Of course on weekdays I go to bed late at night, but at weekends my usual bedtime is 11 o'clock as I want to have a good sleep before starting a new week of studies.
