TEXT
I wake up at 6 AM on weekdays; I usually hit the snooze button on the clock to stay in bed for a few extra minutes before getting up, then get out of bed at around 6:15 AM. I take a shower, get dressed, then have my breakfast and prepare my lunch. At 7:15 I leave home for work. I have a long commute to the city.
I work from 9 AM until 5 PM, with coffee breaks in the morning and afternoon and a lunch break between noon and 1 PM. I usually get home around 6:30 PM if there are no traffic jams.
In the evening, I have dinner, check my emails and social media pages, then watch some TV if I have no other activities. On Monday I play hockey in the evening. On Wednesday and Friday, I go to the gym to exercise or go jogging.
On weekends I get up later, around 8 AM; after breakfast, I usually do some outdoor work, like cutting my grass or washing my car. Sometimes I play golf or tennis if the weather is good, when it rains I usually work in my garage.
