Script
I don’t like Tuesdays. They are so busy for me. First, I have to wake up at 6am and make breakfast. Then I take a shower, brush my teeth, and get dressed. At 7:30, I bike to the university to make it in time for my 8am history class. After that, I have a math class that ends at noon. I eat lunch very quickly and go to work from 12:30 until 2:30. At 3, I have a three hour long psychology class. After class, I go back home, cook dinner, eat, and wash the dishes. When the dishes are clean, around 9pm, I start my homework for the next day. Finally, at 11:30, I go to sleep.
