A university student’s typical day
My Day!
My name is Ed. I’m 23 years old
and I live in Havana, Cuba. From
Monday to Friday my daily
routine at the university is always
the same.
I always get to school on time. I’m
usually there by 7.45 because
classes start at 8 and I’m never
late.
In the afternoon, I often go to the
library or to the computer lab to
study. Sometimes, I practice sports.
I rarely stay after 5.
After college, I go home. I usually
talk to my friends and play soccer.
Then, take a shower and have
dinner with my family.
In the evening, I often watch sports
on TV. I like soccer but baseball is
my favorite. I also love to listen to
music, especially to relax when I
go to bed after a busy day.
