medical student's working day
i am a student. my dream has come true. a new life begins. i guess it is not easy to study at the medical college. 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 họstel for the college. i go to the college 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 college by bus or trolley bus. i always come to the college in time. i am never late. our classes usually begin at 8.30 a.m. between elasses 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 and german are taught at the college. 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 college. 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 12.10 or 5.50 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.
The same applies to computers. Very few people today know how to send letters or telegrams. People also more see each other on the screen of the monitor than in real life. Conversations and private meetings between friends become less and less frequent. However if there is a problems with eletricity, we can face another disaster in the form of total loss of commuication.
Copying machines also do a lot of work for us. We have simply become too lazy to re-write long texts.
As to cars, motorbikes and other vehicles, they stole from us one more chance to walk and enjoy a beautiful view of the nature or of the city.
In other words modern technologies made our lives more comfortable and convernient. But at the same we lost some skills that our parents used to have.
We prefer to spend our weekends somewhere in the country by the river or on the shore of the lake. We don't like to go to a new town. We sometimes take a tent and go to the lake with our friends for an overnight stay. When we reach the shore of the lake we put up our tents and then begin to eat and drink. The weather in summer is hot, the water in the lake is crystal clean and warm so we swim and relax. The forest around the lake is beautiful. We enjoy green grass, forest flowers, tall trees and watch birds during our walk in the woods. In the evening we make a campfire and sit by the fire, listen to the guitar, sing songs and tell interesting and funny stories. We take pics during our trip. The next day we play football and volleyball, cook our meal, swim in the lake, and in the evening we return home full of unforgettable impressions. I like our summer car trips with friends to the lake very much.
