Oleg and Julia are first-year medical students. Their days are always very busy, they have to study a lot. In the morning they listen to one or two lectures, and then they usually have one or two seminars or laboratory classes. After that, they go to the library or Anatomy lab where they read for tomorrows classes.
However, this Tuesday is different. Everybody is having a very busy time in the yard and the halls of the Academy. The boys are cleaning the yard and throwing out the garbage. By the way, where is Oleg? Is he working, too? Well, at the moment he is doing nothing (just listening to music).
The girls are washing the windows, dusting the furniture, watering the plants and sweeping the floors. Some of them are even washing the walls in the halls.
As you can see, nobody is studying this Tuesday. Poor students. Or are they happy?
