THE WORKING DAY OF A MEDICAL STUDENT
I am a student of the National Medical University. I study at the pharmaceutical faculty. My everyday activities are quite routine. They are like those of any other student of our country.
On weekdays the alarm clock wakes me up at 6.30 and my working day begins. I'm not an early bird, that's why it's very difficult for me to get up, especially in winter. I switch on my tape recorder and do my morning exercises. Then I take a coid shower, brush my teeth, wash, dress, and have breakfast. Exercises and cold shower in the morning help my keep fit, so these procedures regularly. As a future pharmacist I believe that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of treatment".
I leave home at about 8 o'clock and go to the university. It takes me about for minutes to get there. We study five days week and usually have three or four lectures a day.
During the first two years we study general sciences, such as chemistry, physiology, botany, English, Ukrainian, Latin, etc. During the next three years pharmaceutical students study special subjects, like pharmacy, pharmacology, toxicology and other.
The sciences we study are difficult, but good knowledge of them is necessary for my future profession. So it takes me much time and effort to do all my homework and prepare for the next day at the university when I come home in the evening.!usually sit up late and as a rule haven't got much free time on weekdays. But when I'm not very busy I like reading, meeting friends and watching TV.
