John Doe

Do you know John? That is what I thought. Let me tell you something about him. He is 21 and is living in Gorebridge while he is attending to the School of Economics at the University of Edinburgh. His hometown is Sunderland, a city near to Newcastle, but he moved 2 years ago when he started at the university. He uses to go back home at least once a month to visit his parents, his younger sister Mary and friends, but he is really happy with his life as it is now. He is doing quite well with his studies and has a lot of new friends to have a lot of fun when he is not studying. He has a driving license but he does not have a car and only drives his dad's car when he is visiting his home. He usually uses public transport when he is in Edinburgh or, if wheather is good, his bike.
John likes sports a lot. He practices basketball and football often and goes to the swimming pool and to the gym once or twice a week. His closest friends call him "Blondie" because he is so blonde he looks like Swedish or German. He has a lot of friends because he is outgoing and friendly, he is quite funny and girls love him because he is handsome and witty. He is thinking about going abroad for 2 or 3 years after finishing at the university and maybe learning a new language like French or German, meeting new people and maybe getting a good job.
For now, he will continue living with two other students in a rented apartment in Gorebridge, a village about 30km away from Edinburgh. During the week, he wakes up at 7am, has breakfast and takes a bus at 7:45 to get to Edinburgh. There, he goes to the library and stays there until 11am or 12am studying and at that time he attends some classes until 3pm or 4pm. After that, he uses to have lunch with some of his friends and during the rest of the afternoon he attends several optional classes and spends one or two more hours in the library. At the end of the day is when he uses to practice some sport, before taking the bus back to the apartment to have dinner and go to bed at about 11pm.
During the weekend things are different. On Saturday, he wakes up not before 10pm because he uses to go out the night before until late. Then, after having a light breakfast he uses to go to the swimming pool for at least an hour before lunch. During Saturday afternoon he uses to make plans with some friends or with some girl, and usually those plans extend late into the night. So, Sunday morning almost does not exist for him and he usually spends the afternoon having a coffee and chatting with some friends or flirting with some girl. When he goes to visit his family he does almost the same but changing the location and people involved.
