My working day and daily duties

My name is__________. On weekdays I wake up at seven, but I don’t get up straightaway. I lie in my bed, listen to music, and then I get up at 7.15. Every morning I have a chilly shower.
For breakfast I have a cup of tea or coffee with milk and a sandwich. I don’t like eat much in the morning, but my mum says that breakfast should be hearty to get an energy for the whole day.
Then I get dressed and go to University by a mini-bus. It generally takes about 15 minutes to get to the university. I try to be on time there because lessons start at 8.30 a.m.
As you know I’m a first-year student doing a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology at Dagestan State University. Like all undergraduates, I have three or four classes per day and a twenty-minute lunch-break at about 12 p.m. My friends and I usually go to a café or a university canteen. After that we go back to University. I usually stay at University until 3 or 4 p.m.
I don’t go home after classes at once because sometimes I have to drop in on the library to borrow a book or write a report.

DEAR FRESHMEN,
 HERE'S THE TEXT AS A SAMPLE FOR YOUR INDERPENDENT WORK

My house

I live in a modern ten-storeyed block of flats in the city center.
There is a yard with trees and bushes in front of the house.
There is a big supermarket on the left and a parking lot on the right.
Anyway, there are 9 or 10 garages on the ground floor of the house.
Unfortunately we haven't got a garage for our car and leave it in the car park.

Our flat is on the seventh floor.
There is a spacious lift in the block, but sometimes it breaks down and we have to drag slowly onto the 7th floor.
Our flat isn't too large.
There's a small hall, a cozy kitchen, a spacious living room, a comfortable parents' bedroom, a bathroom and my bedroom.
We don't have a dining room; we have a meal in the kitchen.
My favourite room is a living room.
There is a big couch, two armchairs, an LCD-TV and a coffee-table in front of the couch.
There is a big window in the room. 
I like the view of the room, it goes to the sea.
Actually, I spend much time in the lounge, watching TV, listening to music, speaking on phone or just looking at the sea out of the window.
I forgot to tell, there is a large balcony from the kitchen.


So, I like our flat because it is in the new comfortable modern building.
