Student’s Working Day

I’m a 1^st-year student at the Academy of Municipal Administration. I study at the Educational and Research Institute of Regional Development, Local Self-Administration and Management and my major is Management of Organization. I’m a very busy person and that’s why it’s rather important for me to have a well-planned daily program.

I am not a Kyivite, it means Kyiv is not my native city. So, I live in a dormitory and share a room with 2 groupmates.

I usually wake up at about 7 o’clock and then it’s time for me to get up. After that I take a shower, have my breakfast and go to the Academy. It takes me about one hour to get there*. At half past eight my working day begins. As a rule, we have four periods - lectures or workshops - a day. We have classes every day except Saturday and Sunday. These days are our days-off.

We study many subjects this term, such as Basics of Business, Ukrainian language, Rhetoric, Psychology, History of Ukraine, Basics of Economic Theory, The Organisation of Local Self-Management and others.

It’s a pity, but I have some difficulties with Business Ukrainian and my best friends, Nick and Alex, help me to master it and to get rid of all my mistakes.

Nick, a friend of mine, studies at the Faculty of Economics and Law and majors in Jurisdiction. His main subjects are: Theory of a State and Law, Political History of Ukraine, Latin language, Foreign languages, Philosophy, Logic, Ethics, Computer Science and Technologies, Local State Administration and others.

My other friend, Alex, studies at the same Faculty, but his major is different. He studies Finance. His main subjects are: Advanced Mathematics, Political Economy, Business Ukrainian, Foreign Language, History of Ukrainian Culture, Regional Economy, History of Economy and others.

After classes my friends and I usually go to the library to read for classes or to computer classes to develop our skills.

I have my lunch in the Academy’s canteen or I take some sandwiches with me.

On Tuesdays and Fridays we go in for sports. We play tennis, basketball and swim in the pool in our sport club. Sometimes if we have free time, we go around the city or visit cinemas and museums. My friends and I like to discuss different cultural, political and economic events in Ukraine and abroad and each of us gives own point of view. We’re rather busy at the Academy and we often come home late.
