Stacey's daily routine
Stacey is a receptionist at a medical center in Chicago. On weekdays, she usually gets up at 6:30 a.m. She takes a shower, gets dressed, and makes breakfast. She usually has coffee, toast, and some fruit. After breakfast, she brushes her teeth, grabs her bag, and walks to the bus stop. She takes the bus to work at 7:30 a.m. and starts work at 8:00.
At around noon, she has lunch in the cafeteria with some of her coworkers. She usually brings a sandwich and a piece of fruit from home. She finishes work at 4:30 p.m. and gets home about an hour later.
In the evening, Stacey likes to relax. She sometimes watches a TV show, reads a book, or listens to music. She also enjoys playing the guitar. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, she takes an online Spanish class. She doesn't go out very often during the week because she prefers to stay home and rest.
On weekends, Stacey has more free time. On Saturdays, she usually goes shopping or meets a friend for coffee. On Sundays, she likes sleeping late, watering her plants, and doing some housework. She usually goes to bed around 10:30 p.m.
