As you know I am a second-year student of the Technical University.
I have been studying just for one month at the Murmansk State Technical University and now I can’t say that I made the right choice when I entered the University because I don’t like studying here because we have to work hard.
Every day we have five or six pairs of lessons.
The lessons begin at 9 o'clock but as I live rather far from the University I must get up at 7 o'clock not to be late for the lessons.
By the way at first it wasn’t a problem and not only for me but for all the freshmen to find the necessary class-room.
You see our University includes some buildings marked by different letters and the lessons usually take place in one building.
But now we can more or less orientate ourselves in the University and can find our ways to the classrooms.
As for the subjects we are taught they don’t differ from the school subjects.
I should say that we don’t study a lot of mathematics.
We never go to the library or reading hall to take books for our studying or to work there.
As I attend all the lectures, seminars, lessons and try not to miss additional consultation lessons I usually come home at 5 о clock.
I always have few tasks to be done for the following day. So in the evening I usually don’t feel sick and tired and I am not dead on my feet.
The only time when I can have a short rest is Saturday evening because Sunday is my day off and I don't have to go to the University.
