Hi again ... As you already know, I am a first-year student of the Finance and Credit Department of the Institute of Economics of the Far Eastern National Technical University of Fishery or Dalrybvtuz. Now my parents live in Khabarovsk and I study in Vladivostok, so I need some housing. There are two opportunities for me: I can live in a dormitory (a students hostel), or to rent a flat (an apartment). I decided to rent a room. To make the rent smaller, I also decided to share my room with another girl – Ksenya Kurdyukova. She studies at the University too, and she is my best friend.
Now, let me describe my usual working day. My classes begin at 8:30. So on week-days I have to get up at 7:15. I don't have an alarm clock and usually my roommate wakes me up and my working day begins. I turn on the radio and do my morning exercises while Ksenya takes a shower. I don't take a bath in the morning because I don't have enough time for it. I usually take a cool shower which makes me completely wake up, brush my teeth and wash my face. After that I go back to our room and get dressed. I brush my hair and put on a light make-up. Then we have breakfast. Ksenya makes breakfast every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I have to serve breakfast on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I love to listen to the latest news on the radio while I am eating and Ksenya prefers light music.
We leave the house around eight and walk to the nearest bus stop. We live rather close to the University and it usually takes us about ten-fifteen minutes to get there by bus. Sometimes when the weather is fine and we have enough time we walk to the University. It is very healthy to walk much. Our classes begin at 8.30 in the morning and they end at 3:00 p.m. We have lectures in different subjects. As a rule we have three or four classes a day. Sometimes it is very hard to wait till they end.
Usually I don't miss my classes because I want to pass my exams successfully. But sometimes I do, especially when the weather is fine and the classes are boring. At twenty to twelve o'clock we have a big break. It lasts for twenty minutes. That's my favourite time. That is the time to share the latest news and to gossip. My friends and I prefer to go to the University’s canteen and have lunch there. At twelve we have to be back to our classes. During the classes we also have several short breaks that last for ten minutes.
Occasionally I have to stay at the University till 6 or even 7 o'clock in the evening because I go to the library to get ready for my practical classes or to write a report. As a rule I have no free time on week-days. So by the end of the week I get very tired. When we come home in the evening we have supper together and share the news. After supper we wash dishes, drink coffee or tee and watch TV. I prefer comedies and Ksenya likes talk-shows or TV-programmes about travelling. Sometimes Ksenya and I go for a walk in the park or visit our friends.
At about eleven at night I go to bed. I like to read something before going to bed and Ksenya likes to listen to some music. Sometimes I fall asleep while I am reading and Ksenya gets up and switches off the light and says Good night!
