I am a student. My dream has come true. A new life begins. I guess it
is not easy to study at the Medical University. Every day I have much
work to do. I remember that the lost time is never gained so I don’t waste
time.
My week-days don’t differ much one from another. My working day
begins early. English people say: «Early to bed and early to rise makes a
man healthy, wealthy and wise». I am not an early riser, but I have to get
up at 7 a.m. It is well known that good health is better than wealth so I try
to do my morning exercises. It doesn’t take me much time. Then I wash,
make my bed and have a light breakfast.
At a quarter past 8 a.m. I leave the hostel for the University. I go to the 6
University on foot as it is not far from the hostel where I live. It takes me
little time to get there. Many of our students live at home. They go to the
University by bus or trolley bus. I always come to the University in time. I
am never late.
Our classes usually begin at 8.45 a.m. Between classes we have short
breaks and one long break for dinner.
As a rule we have practical classes, lectures and seminars in
numerous theoretical and special subjects. Like most of our students I
attend all the lectures as they are delivered by qualified professors and
teachers, and are very interesting and important. We work much in class, at
our laboratories and library to get deep knowledge.
As the students want to become not ordinary but good specialists
they must study not only their text-books but read special medical
literature in Russian and foreign languages. So English, German and
French are taught at the University. To know some foreign language is
necessary for every person because its knowledge also helps to learn more
about culture, science, life and other events abroad.
There is a Students’ Scientific Society at our University. The students
may join it and work on the subjects they care for. They carry out research
work and then make reports at the conferences.
My classes are over either at 3.10 or 5.20 p.m. Right after classes I
go straight to the hostel. Sometimes I go to the library to take some books
or articles necessary for my studies.
When I come home I have a short rest, then I do my homework. It
takes me not less than 3 hours. In the evening I have supper, read books,
listen to music or watch TV. If I have time I go to the cinema or theatre.
On my week-days I usually go to bed at about 12 o’clock.
