Hey, are you free on Saturday? Do you want to do something?

I'm busy on Saturday, but how about Sunday?

Sure! Sunday works for me

What are you thinking?

How about a drive out to the beach? I've got the car this weekend because Mike is away.

Sounds good! What time?

I can pick you up from your place about 9 if you like

I'm going to the gym first thing in the morning

Shall we meet a bit later, say 10?

Perfect! Do you fancy a picnic? I can go shopping while you're at the gym

Great! Even better! See you tomorrow!

What are your plans for this weekend?

This weekend, On Saturday, I have an MS paper that will start at 11:00 am and end at 02:00 pm. After that, I will go out to my city. After reaching the town, I will bring some food from the nearby supermarket for my home. On Sunday, I will go out to the animal market, where we will purchase animals for Eid ul Adha which will begin on Monday. So this weekend will be engrossing for me.

There has been nothing special until now. I'm waiting for the intern schedule. If they notice soon, I would like to visit my brother this weekend. He lives distant from where I live. It has been almost 3 years since I last met him.

What are your plans for this weekend?

I am planning to wake up at about 7 AM. Then I'm making coffee, meditating, and writing down the blessing of my life and whatever I'm interested in taking place today.
At about 9 AM, I'm going to go to the pool. I love water and swimming. it makes me calm and happy. I'm coming back home at about 2 PM. I'm taking a nap for one hour. For the rest of my day, I'm doing my backlogs. Of course, I'm going to go walking at about 6 PM for one hour in the park and enjoy the nature and weather. Before I forget I should say that I'm supposed to invite myself round for dinner to a restaurant.
It's an award. because I did according to my plan during the last two months.

I don't have special plans for the weekend. I stay home and watch movies and then do assignments. I rarely go out for having fun.
