Let me describe my usual working day. On weekdays my alarm-clock wakes me up at 7 a.m. I get up, turn on my CD record-player and do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom, take a cold shower and brush my teeth.

After that I return to my bedroom to get dressed and brush my hair.
I have breakfast at about 7.30. Usually I have a substantial breakfast: I have bacon and eggs, a toast with jam and a cup of tea or juice. I like watching the latest news on TV or listening to the radio while I am eating.

My classes start at 8.30 that’s why I have to leave the hostel at 8.10. It takes me about 20 minutes to get to the University by bus. But if the weather is fine and I have enough time I walk to the University.

We have lectures and seminars on different subjects. We have three or four classes a day. We have five and ten minutes’ breaks between the periods. At 11.50 we have a big interval for lunch. We go to the University canteen or cafeteria and talk with friends. At 12.20 we have to be back to our classes. Sometimes I stay at the University till late in the evening because I go to the library to prepare for the practical classes or write a report.

After the lessons I come home at about 5 p.m., have a substantial dinner, wash dishes and have rest. In a while I do my homework. If I have free time I go for a walk with my friends or visit my relatives. Late in the evening I can watch TV, play computer games or read a newspaper or a magazine. And then I go to bed.

This is my usual working day and by the end of the week I get very tired. On Friday evening I participate in, so called, “animal therapy” group. I am an instructor. There we help disabled people to improve their health and mental state through communication with animals. We have dogs and cats as a medicine. Disabled people touch and feed them, speak to them thus people feel better and solve their health problems. We work both with children and adults. Our group of instructors and our director wish to buy horses and use them in animal therapy too. So disabled people can study to ride and take care of horses. But it is only our dream yet, which I hope will come true one day.

I have two spare days a week. That’s Saturday and Sunday. I begin looking forward to them since the beginning of the week.

On Saturdays I don’t have classes so I needn’t get up early. Usually on weekends I sleep till 9 a.m. Then I get up and start my housework. I sweep the floor, dust the furniture and clean the carpets with the vacuum-cleaner. Then I go shopping or get busy in the kitchen. After that I have free time and can do everything I want. I can go for a walk with my friends, go to the cinema or just chat with my friends over the Internet. In the evening we go clubbing. My room-mate, Nadya Popova, plays violin in the University orchestra. She has got a lot of rehearsals but on Saturday evenings they have concerts. So sometimes I go to her concerts.

On Sundays we prefer active rest. We can go for a picnic in the countryside or to a sport club. Sometimes I go to visit my parents who live in a different town. I like such occasions very much as we get together and have an opportunity to talk and discuss our family affairs. That is my working week.
