I manage my day activities with current school's works when given the time of completing my homework assignments, requirement readings, and future projects. When I have completed my school works or waiting for future homeworks; I would spend my time enjoying my hobbies. Mostly everyday, I would usual walk my dog around the neighborhood for 20 or 30 minutes. Afterwards, once I have given water to my dog when returning home. I would leave my house to continue my exercise of jogging for about 25 minutes. When I'm unable to run outside due to either weather conditions, I would continue my running exercise at Plant Fitness. During the weekends, my family members would occasionally organized a volleyball game in advance to properly schedule a perfect date for all of us to play volleyball together. Once we had selected a proper date, we would play volleyball at a rec center for about 2-4 hours.
