10.- I WAKE UP 11.

I BRUSH MY TEETH
MY WEEKLY ACTIVITIES

I have 24 hours a day to do my activities. For a one-week period I don’t have to deprive
myself of sleep or relaxation or socializing with my friends. I spend an hour a day
relaxing during the week and use the additional social hours on weekends. A typical
university student takes 16 weeks for a semester and I spent in the classroom 25 hours
per week so I still have 15 hours a week to study. A good “ rule of thumb” is to spend
at least 2 to 3 hours of studying for each hour of class time. Of course, some classes are
more demanding than others and require more time for preparation and homework,
projects, and lab work, etc.
For the reason I get up at 7:00 0’clock in the morning, then I go to the bathroom to do
my personal grooming. I get dress and have breakfast. I start my class from 9:00 to
1:00. Sometimes, I go to the grocery shop to do the shopping and help my mother. On
Wednesday is my free day and I usually cook. In the afternoon I have lunch with my
family at 2:30. On weekends I spend time with my father and also with my friends. I
don’t play sports but my sister does.
