On weekdays I set an alarm for quarter to eight but I get up at half past seven. I need about ten minutes to wash and get dressed, and then I go downstairs to eat Breakfast. Usually for Breakfast I drink a Cup of tea and eating toast with jam. Then I quickly collected the books and meet with each other on a street corner at eight o'clock in ten minutes. At twenty minutes past eight we are already at school, and we can chat with friends for twenty minutes before we have to go to classes twenty minutes to nine. At nine o'clock — the beginning of the lessons. They last for forty-five minutes, but at eleven o'clock we have Breakfast for twenty minutes and then we have one more lesson before lunch. In 20 12 we have a break for snack and we usually sit in the dining room with friends and eat sandwiches brought from home, a few of us here take afternoon tea in the dining room. If the weather is nice we sit on the Playground and eat there. Then we have two lessons until half past three, and then it's time to go home. After a tiring day at school, I relax, chatting with my mom about how was your day, while preparing lunch. After lunch I begin to do my homework. I always need something to do: read the book, make exercises, write an essay or prepare for the test. By nine o'clock I'm always trying to finish homework, to relax and chat with my family and watch TV. Then I go to bed at half past ten, to Wake up full of energy the next morning.
