Saturday Afternoon What can I do in this afternoon? I'm waiting to the hour to take a shower and change my clothes. I'll go out with Endrius and other friends to Devanda's apartament. I don't know if this will be a good night, I'm not friend of the most people that will be there. Probaby we'll watch a movie and have some food. I really don't want to arrive late in my place, because I woke up early today to teach in a course about graphic design. I'm happy because my college classes return, and in this semester I'll learn more about literature. o/

Saturday Afternoon

What can I do in this afternoon? I'm waiting to take a shower and change my clothes. I'll go out with Endrius and other friends to Devanda's apartment. I don't know if this will be a good night or not, I'm not friends with most of people that will be there. We will probably watch a movie and eat some food. I really don't want to come home late, because I woke up early today to teach a course about graphic design. I'm happy because college starts again, and in this semester I'll learn more about literature. o/


Well done! keep going :) You're doing great.

Get up versus wake up

"To get up" and "to wake up" do not mean the same thing.

"To wake up" means the moment that you open your eyes and stop being asleep. When you wake up, you are still in your bed and still lying down.

"To get up" means the moment that you put your feet on the floor and stand up in order to get out of your bed. To get up means to get out of bed. At the point when you "get up," you are not in bed any more.


Getting up is a deliberate action, but waking up is often involuntary

If you say "I woke up early"  it usually means you didn't wake up early deliberately. Perhaps you were woken by some noise outside in the street, and then you couldn't go back to sleep.

In contrast, if you say "I got up early" it means you got up early deliberately. In order to get up early, people usually set an alarm.
