Routines

Three times a week I stay at school in the afternoon because I have football training (on Mondays and Thursdays) and on Fridays I have Music Club. I have lunch at the school canteen and then I go to our library and I do my homework. After my extracurricular activities I go home. It takes me about ten minutes to get home by bus. Before dinner I usually have a shower and watch my favourite TV series. I always have dinner with my family. Then I play on the computer, listen to music or read. I never go to bed late.
