Daily routine

I am in the third year at the Institute where I study Law. I study by correspondence that’s why I must organize my time wisely. The alarm clock goes off at 7 a.m. but I find it hard to get up on time, so I sometimes oversleep. To feel refreshed and full of energy I do morning exercises and have a quick shower. Every morning I try to eat a full breakfast. I have sandwiches with butter, cheese, sausage or marmalade. Sometimes I have porridge or fried eggs and drink strong coffee. Then I quickly make my bed, dress myself, do my hair, put on make up and rush out of the house. It takes me 20 minutes to get to my work by bus.

My work keeps me busy all day long. I have a lot of duties daily. At lunchtime I have a snack at the café. Sometimes during my break I go shopping. My working day is over at 5 p.m. and I hurry home. I usually come home tired. I have supper and do my housework. I like the idea of going to bed early but often I sit up late watching TV. I enjoy thrillers and adventure films. From time to time I watch newsreels.

As I do not have any free time during the week I try to relax at weekends. One of my greatest pleasures is to lie in bed and to read my favourite books. To keep myself fit I go for a run in the park or skiing. I also work out in the gym. I hate staying in and sometimes I go to the party or to a disco. Some Sundays I work in the library or at home reading for my studies, I do written tests and get ready to my exams.
