My Day Off
I’m a first-year student of electronic (mechanical) department at Belarusian National Technical University. I study six days a week and don’t have much free time on week-days. So I look forward to the weekend when I can relax and have a rest. Usually I spend my day off with the people who are very close to me and whose company I always enjoy. These are my friends and relatives. Sometimes when I’m tired and don’t want to talk to anybody I spend my day off alone, reading a book or listening to music. But in general I’m for active rest.
There are many places you can go to like cinemas, theatres, museums, cafes, parties. You can also go out of town and enjoy fresh air and a change of scenery. A lot of men like to go fishing for a weekend. If the weather is cold or wet there are plenty of things to do indoors. You can read books, listen to music, watch TV, use the Internet, play computer games and so on. A day off for me is a nice possibility to escape from daily University routine. When a weekend comes I try very hard to have good time.
My weekend starts on Saturday afternoon. I think it’s the best time for rest and entertainment. I often go out with my friends on this day. We can go to a disco club or to a cafe or a park. Sometimes my friends visit me or I visit them and we have a chat about all kinds of things: music, books, films, the problems we may have at the University or at home and other things. My group-mates from other towns usually go to their home towns for a weekend.
On Sunday morning I don’t have to be in a hurry, so I get up later than usual. At 9 o’clock I take a dog for a walk, after that I often help my parents about the house. Then I spend some hours doing my homework. I’m fond of reading and music. These are my hobbies. As for reading I like adventure and detective stories. I find them exciting. Also most of my spare time I devote to music. I can play the guitar and I’ve got a nice collection of CDs. I have some friends who love music very much. We try to listen to different musical trends and waves just to know about music as much as possible. We can argue and have different "favourites" but what unites us is our understanding and love for music.
Sunday evening it’s time to get ready for Monday. Another week. So I usually have an early night. At 11 o’clock I’m already asleep.
