Mary’s Day at the University
On week-days the alarm-clock rings and wakes Mary up, and her working day begins. It’s seven o’clock. If it is spring or summer she jumps out of her bed, runs to the window and opens it wide. In winter she is not so quick to leave her bed, and she buries her head under the pillow. But all the same, it is time to get up and she starts getting ready for her work.
Mary makes her bed and goes to the bathroom where she brushes her teeth and has a shower. While she is having her breakfast, she turns on her CD-player and listens to pop-music. Mary leaves her house at half past seven, and, as she lives quite near to the bus stop, she is there in five minutes. It takes her about twenty minutes to get to the University. Mary arrives there at ten minutes to eight. On her way to the University she often meets her group mates and they go together.
Mary’s classes start at eight o’clock. She usually has three or four classes a day. But her working day is not over when the classes come to end, as she has a lot of work to do at home. It usually takes Mary about three hours to get ready for the next working day at the University. But when at last her working day is over, she feels tired and satisfied.
Sometimes in the evening Mary’s friends come to her place and they talk and have fun. Sometimes they go for a walk, but not very often.
Mary usually goes to bed at about eleven o’clock.
