My computer is a very important part of my life; I could not do much with out it. I have always used the computer wherever I can; I use it for my work as well as playing on it when I am bored.
I get my books ready a few minutes later so I leave the house five minutes before the lessons start or even earlier, so that I do not get punished for being late to a lesson.
My school is like a mini village in where by you do not have to walk so far, therefore I do not have to leave to go to school so early.
The first lesson starts at ten to nine and ends at half past nine. I then have a five-minute break, which I get between every lesson. After the third lesson I have a break for half an hour. During the break I usually get myself a drink and a snack to eat.
At one o’clock, after the fifth lesson, I have lunch, which lasts around forty minutes. I then go to my room and listen to music on my computer for ten to fifteen minutes, then get my books and go to the last three lessons, which finish at four o’clock, unless I have a half day. If so I will carry on playing on my computer or get changed and go to computer programming.
I do computer programming because I enjoy playing around with software and also I have had past experience on it because I always watch my brother on the computer whilst he is making new programmes as project and so I would know quite a bit about making them. I like computers so much that I am thinking about taking a career towards those lines.
On a Tuesday (half – day) once I have finished computer programming I will go to badminton for an hour, but if it is a Thursday I will go and hang around with my friends.
After badminton I come back to the house, have a shower and then go and ‘hang out’ with my friends. I come back to the house after five always finding someone in the house yard to play a game of football with.
I go to tea at six o’clock. I think that in our house tea is the nicest meal. As soon as I have finished I run outside and play football in the yard again but I would prefer being on holiday, as I would be out playing cricket or at home playing on the Playstation 2.
I have always loved holidays and going home for them. When I am at home it is so relaxing and there is not much work to be don’t and if there is then it can be done when I am bored.
I go upstairs at seven o’clock get my books for the subjects that I have prep to do for and then go downstairs to ‘the worker’ and do my prep there. This is the part of the day, which I find most boring and when I wish that I was at home.
I go downstairs and watch TV for a while after prep, but if nothing interesting is on I go and play on my computer. At this point if I was at home I would be going out with my friends.
I go upstairs from the TV room to my room at half ten if I was downstairs to get ready for bed. At quarter to eleven it is lights out. I hate going to bed so early if I was home I’d still be out with my friends.
I like going out at night. I find the vibe that is around you at night is amazing. When I go out at night it would probably be going to the cinema, playing pool at a club called Rileys or to the pub.
