the bus. I go to Dinu Lipatti National College of Art which is in the centre of the city. My school day starts at 8
o’clock and finishes at 1 pm, but I continue studying music at home as well. At school, I study music theory and
I play the violin for two hours. After school, I usually go home and I have a big lunch at 2 pm. Then I do my
homework or even take a nap. I do many activities after school. I go to a contemporary dance club on
Wednesdays and Fridays, in the afternoon. At the weekend I go to a painting club. My day usually ends at 9.30
pm, when I go to bed.
