7 a.m. -- Your alarm is going off, time to get up! (But if you're like me, you hit snooze at least three times.)
7.15 a.m. -- You finally get out of bed, stick your feet into your cozy slippers, wash up, get dressed and head for the kitchen to have a quick breakfast: a glass of milk and three little muffins. Then grab your book bag and leave the house to catch the bus.
7.45 a.m. – You take the bus to go to university for morning classes. It takes about 30 minutes, and the bus stops right in front of the university.
9 a.m. –You have classes.
1 p.m. -- You have an hour or so to get downtown to grab some lunch. Some of my friends have lunch in the canteen or take a packed lunch.
2 p.m. – You have afternoon classes. Then you hit the computer lab to check e-mails from home, or meet your language exchange friend, a native French speaker who is learning English and you chat for an hour or two, half the time in French and half in English.
7 p.m. -- You catch your bus home; some students head for the campus where all the university dorms are located.
8 p.m. -- You come home, just in time to help prepare for a delicious dinner.
9 p.m. -- After dinner, you can do your homework, then gather around the TV and watch the evening news or movies with your host family. Sometimes you surf the Internet or read. And then you go to bed at about 10: there are no all-nighters here except when you want a night out.
On the weekends, you can go on excursions. But this weekend, you go on a day-trip to hike along the beautiful French countryside with your host family.
