My university life

Tuesdays and Thursdays, I only have two classes, at 9:30 am and 11:00 am.

evenings. I don’t play computer games on weekdays. I don’t have time!

up at 9:00 am. Every Saturday morning, I meet with some friends and we play football. Then, on Saturday
afternoon, I do homework again. On Saturday evenings, my friends and I usually go out for pizza.
4 I like Sundays. On Sundays, I relax. Sometimes I see a film, read a book, or go to the gym. Then on Monday, my
busy timetable starts again!
