Maria has more of a weekly routine than me, because of her school. She has to get up very early on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, to go to lessons. She has two piano lessons every week, on Monday and Thursday afternoons. She plays the viola da gamba, which is a renaissance and baroque predecessor of the cello, and she has a lesson for this once a week. She also plays many concerts with her ensemble, which plays medieval and renaissance music. She also has many friends and family commitments. She does an admirable job of managing her time and fitting all of these things into her week. She also likes to go to a fitness centre with her sister, and tries to do this every week, and we like to swim together, but for some reason we can’t often make enough time for it.
