As we study at the same University and at the same faculty, Vladimir faces the same problems and has the same daily routine as I have. He can organize his time wisely and he knows in what order he should do things though sometimes he spends sleepless nights at disco clubs. He doesn't find hard to get up on time. In spite of the fact he doesn't get enough sleep he is sure not to do oversleep.

In the morning he is refreshed and full of energy. While I am wandering round the kitchen, fighting the urge to go back to bed, he manages to have a quick shower, eat a full breakfast and set off for the university.

As you understand his study keeps him busy all the day long. At 9 classes begin. We have lectures, practical lessons, laboratory works and designed classes, where we are trained to draw logical conclusions, to record observations accurately and to present scientific reports. We are familiarized with the characteristics of engineering materials, equipment and machines. We study different branches of engineering. Of course subjects we study at the University differ from those we learnt at school. He says that he didn't suppose it would be a problem for him to do his study.

At lunch time I meet up with Vladimir to have a snack and to talk about different things. After classes he makes himself go to the reading hall reading for seminars.

He comes home tired. He knows that keeping up late ruins his health but he is always tempted the idea of putting his homework off and as a rule he sits up late.

He is a sporty person and keeps fit by doing physical exercises. From time to time he works out in the gym. Sometimes he goes out to a party or to a disco but usually he ends up with his study.

He has a supper on a tray looking through summaries and watching TV for a while.

Almost exhausted he goes to bed hoping that tomorrow he will have less work to do and he will be able to go out to entertain.
