يَومياتُ هاني
مر حبا ! أَنا طالبٌ فِي جامِعَةِ الأُرْدُن، وَأَنا أَسْكُنُ مَعَ أُسْرَتِي. وَهٰذا بَرْنامَجِي اليَوْمِيُّ. أَسْتَيْقِظُ يَوْمِيّاً فِي الساعَةِ الثامِنَةِ صَباحاً، أَسْتَحِمُّ ثُمَّ أَشْرَبُ القَهْوَةَ مَعَ والِدِي ثُمَّ أَلْبَسُ مَلابِسِي وَأُفْطر مَعَ أُسْرَتِي ثُمَّ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى الجامِعَةِ. بَرْنامَجِي الصَباحِيُّ لِهٰذا الفَصْلِ الدِراسِيِّ: فِي الصَباحِ أحضِرُ مُحاضَرَةَ اللُغَة الإِسْبانِيَّةِ. بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ أَشْرَبُ القَهْوَةَ مَعَ أَصْدِقائِي فِي مَقْهَى "الباشا" القَرِيبِ مِنْ الجامِعَةِ ، وَفِي الساعَةِ الواحِدَةِ مُحاضَرَةُ الرِياضِيّاتِ وَبَعْدَها مُحاضَرَةُ الكِيمْياءِ ، ثُمَّ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى مَكْتَبَةِ الجامِعَةِ لِلدِراسَةِ مَعَ صَدِيقِي حَسَن ، وفِي المَساءِ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِي لِأَتَعَشَّى مَعَ عائِلَتِي. هٰذِهِ يَوْمِيّاتِي كَطالِبٍ جامِعِيٍّ

يَومياتُ سَلمى
سَلْمَى هِيَ طَالِبَةٌ فِي الْمَرْحَلَةِ الثَّانَوِيَّةِ، وَهَذَا هُوَ رُوتِينُهَا الْيَوْمِيُّ. تَسْتَيْقِظُ عَادَةً فِي السَّاعَةِ السَّادِسَةِ صَبَاحًا. تَغْسِلُ سَلْمَى وَجْهَهَا، وَتَلْبسُ مَلَابِسَها ثُمَّ تَفْطِرُ مَعَ عَائِلَتِهَا. تَذْهَبُ إِلَى الْمَدْرَسَةِ بِالْبَاصِ مَعَ صَدِيقَاتِهَا. وَفِي الْمَدْرَسَةِ تَدْرُسُ سَلْمَى الدُّرُوسَ، وَهِيَ تُحِبُّ مَادَّةَ الْعُلُومِ وَاللُّغَةَ الْإِنْجِلِيزِيَّةَ
،
وَبَعْدَ الْمَدْرَسَةِ تَذْهَبُ سَلْمَى مَعَ صَدِيقَتِهَا فَادِيَةَ إِلَى نَادِي الْفُنُونِ لِأَنَّهَا تُحِبُّ الرَّسْمَ. تَعُودُ سَلْمَى إِلَى بَيْتِهَا عَلَى السَّاعَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ مَسَاءً، وَتَأْكُلُ الْغَدَاءَ مَعَ عَائِلَتِهَا. تُحِبُّ سَلْمَى قِرَاءَةَ الْكُتُبِ وَمُشَاهَدَةَ التِّلْفَازِ فِي الْمَسَاءِ، ثُمَّ تَنَامُ بَاكِرًا
هَذَا هُوَ الرُّوتِينُ الْيَوْمِيُّ لِسَلْمَى، وَهِيَ تَسْتَمْتِعُ بِوَقْتِهَا مَعَ الْعَائِلَةِ وَالْأَصْدِقَاءِ
