Jin's Daily Life

Vanessa Tseng, 701

Jin usually gets up around 9:30 in the morning. After getting dressed, washing her face and brushing her teeth, she goes to the Extension Center without eating breakfast. Actually, Jin's classes start at 9. However, she studies for the TOEFL test until almost 2 a.m. every night, so she can't get up on time in the morning.

While everyone else eats lunch, Jin just drinks a cup of coffee and smokes a cigarette. In fact, she hasn't eaten lunch for three months because she feels that it is too much bother to make lunch in the morning. Maybe that is the reason she is so slim.

Jin's classes end at 2:30. After classes, she usually goes to the language lab for an hour and then to the computer lab to check her e-mail. Around 4:30 Jin goes home, changes clothes, and then goes to the Rec Hall. It is very convenient for Jin to go there as she lives only five minutes away by foot. She usually spends about an hour there, playing squash. When she gets home, she first takes a shower and then watches TV before dinner. She lives at a co-op, so she eats dinner with her housemates, and they talk during dinner.

Jin starts her homework around 8, and usually finishes within an hour. That's pretty fast! Afterwards, Jin takes a break and talks with her friends on the phone. From 10 to 1 or 2 am, she studies for the TOEFL test, and then goes to bed to end her boring day.
