“Daily routine”
My daily routine starts very early, at 6 a.m. I get up and go outside to do some exercise or ride a bike. When I finish I go home, have a shower and get dressed.
Then I generally make a cup of coffee, check my e-mail inbox and have a look at the news in the Internet. I eat my breakfast. Sometimes I oversleep and if so – I leave my breakfast and rush to the institute. I leave my home at half past 7, take a bus and get to the university at 8.15. The lectures start at 8:30 in the morning, so I have some time to talk to my fellow-students.
We go for lunch to our institute canteen. I usually finish my studies at about 1 p.m. Though sometimes we need to stay late to do some laboratory research or work in the library. Then I go home, make myself some dinner, switch my laptop on and surf the net. I do my homework. I also try to read for a bit every evening. I go to bed at about midnight.
The best part of my day is the evening when I eat my dinner, watch TV, play computer games or go out with my friends, watch football at a sports bar and just relax after a busy day. That’s my favourite time of the day.
