Reading comprehension exercise

Dear mom and dad,

Well I want to tell you about my first week of classes at the University. Wow! am I ever
busy? I get up at 6:00 every morning. That is really early for me. I don't like to get up early
you know. I usually eat breakfast in the school cafeteria. The food here is pretty good. I
have German class every morning at 7:30. After German class I have Business and
Economics on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10:00. I have a lot of homework in that
class but I really like it. It's interesting. I also have English Composition on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have United States History.

The campus here is really big. The first day I was lost. I did not know where to find
anything. Now I know where all the buildings are and I know where my classrooms are.
That's the most important. My dormitory is close so I walk to all my classes. It's only about
ten minutes.

My roommate's name is Eric. He is from Los Angeles. We get along well. He is quiet and
doesn't make a lot of noise. Sometimes Eric and I have dinner together. We don't see
each other much though because our schedules are really different.

During the evening I study. Sometimes I study in the library and sometimes in the
dormitory. I have to write three reports this semester so I have to read some books in the
library. I usually go to bed around eleven.

Mom I sure miss your cooking. Do you think you could send me some of your homemade
chocolate chip cookies? Well I have to go. Take care.

Love,
Jerry
