Q.Please tell me your schedule for a weekday.
from the learning space
My schedule for the day is to get up around 1:XNUMX a.m., and after finishing breakfast and other preparations, I head to school.
The university is open from around XNUMX:XNUMX.From that time, I went to university and studied at the learning space.
There are many learning spaces on the university campus, such as places for one person and places where multiple people can discuss.However, the learning space is popular even if it's not a test period, so I went early in the morning to secure a place.When I have classes, I sometimes go to a nearby cafe with my friends for lunch, but basically I bring a simple salad and eat it in the learning space.
On days when I have classes, I review the previous lesson before class, studying for quizzes, and after the class is over, I review the day's class.I study in the learning space in the mornings and afternoons, except when I have classes.
There are outlets in the learning space, so you can use your computer, and there is wifi on the campus, so you can browse the internet and take a break.The university closes around 20:XNUMX, so you can stay until that time at most.
I leave the university around 16:XNUMX and go home once, then go to a nearby gym and do some light exercise.
After exercising for about an hour, if I run out of ingredients or daily necessities, I will stop by the supermarket on the way home.
After showering, I get ready for dinner at 19:21, and from 22:23 to XNUMX:XNUMX I spend my free time reading books and watching videos.I go to bed around XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX:XNUMX.
Q.Please tell us how you spend your weekends and holidays.
The university is free on Saturdays, so I study in the learning space in the morning, just like I do on weekdays.
I go to the gym in the afternoon and do more exercise than usual.When I told the gym I was a college student when signing the contract, the monthly fee was reduced from 60 euros to 40 euros.I think it's kind of like a student discount.Many people, such as college students and working people, go to the gym, and if you go at a certain time, other people will remember your face.I made some friends here, so I personally recommend it.
On Saturday nights, I sometimes go to a restaurant with my friends and have dinner.
On Sundays, supermarkets are open only in the morning, but many shops are closed.It seems that it is normal for Italian friends to spend time with their families on Sundays.When I asked my friend what he was doing on Sunday, he said, "Don't do anything on Sunday and take it easy," so I followed suit and did nothing.At home, I read books and watch movies.
