Introductory text Working Day of a pharmaceutical Student

We are first year students of the pharmaceutical faculty. To be a pharmaceutical student is very difficult. We need to be enthusiastic and hard-working. Our day begins very early. It is very long and tiring. We study a lot of subjects, some of which are very difficult.

There are 15 students in our group. Some of them live with their parents and some live in the hostels.

O ur classes begin at eight o’clock. We are never late. We always come to the University on time. We have from 2 to 4 lectures and practical classes every day. Students are required to attend all scheduled classes. During lectures we get a lot of interesting and useful information. We study constituents of drugs, organic substances. Besides, we study everything about medicinal plants and their role in keeping man’s health. We have 20 minutes break between lectures. During the long break we go to the canteen or cafeteria and have lunch.

When classes are over, we stay at the University. We go to the reading hall of our student’s library to prepare reports and do homework. We also have to read foreign medical literature to be aware of the latest achievements in the field of medicine.

Many of our fellow-students are members of the scientific society. They do research in organic chemistry, biology and some other special subjects.

We never come home early. On returning home we have a meal, rest a little and then continue our studies. It usually takes us 3 hours. When we have free time, we like to listen to music and watch TV.
