A Typical Sunday

The alarm rang. It was 8:30 AM. Steve turned it off unwillingly and rolled into his bed again after realising that the day was a Sunday. He wanted to sleep for another half an hour but the alarm clock didn't allow him. He kept on pressing the snooze button instead of off, and ultimately he woke up and started heading towards the Washroom in a lifeless manner.

Steve was a 32 years old professor of genetics in Amsterdam University. He had a tall, fair and well built body in his early thirties and had a very sharp mind. He had a standard knowledge of his subject and was also a researcher. His sense of humour was equally well and all these qualities made him very famous among his students.

He washed his face with lukewarm water, as it was a very cold day. After this feel of refreshment, he moved towards the kitchen and opened the door of the refrigerator. He grabbed a packet of 'ready to eat' food. He was not in a mood of cooking, and thus was satisfied with his coffee and nuggets. He was on the verge of completing his breakfast when suddenly the phone started ringing.
He moved to the phone and picked it up.

"Hello..." A very slushy voice whispered. Steve instantly recognised the voice: it was Vinnie, his fiancé.

"Hello." He said in a low pitched voice.

"Are you free today Steve? I was planning for a dinner... " Vinnie asked.
"Actually, I am a bit busy today because I'm working on...."

Vinnie interrupted him, "For Gods sake please don't ruin my plan today, it's just a dinner. I'm not asking you to spend your whole day with me. At least we can have Dinner together. Engage yourself with your work later, or you might break our engagement".

Steve was awestruck and couldn't think of any excuse. He didn't like to go on dinners or dates. He was very much concerned about his work and didn't like any intrusion, but he couldn't deny Vinnie's proposition. So, he just replied in a low and grave voice, "Okay, I'll be there."

"Good, see you soon" Vinnie said cheerfully and disconnected the call.

Steve went back to the kitchen and completed his breakfast. He took a shower, shaved and then decided to go out for a walk. He usually went for a walk on every Sunday and used to think about his research and work on it. The day was fairly cold, yet pleasant. He took his laptop and headed towards the park.

He sat on his favourite bench, put his laptop on his lap and started his work.

Steve had already completed his PhD in Genetics had a good Knowledge of Genetic Algorithms. He was now working as a researcher and he liked teaching too.

He started preparing for his lectures in his laptop. The weather was very soothing and Steve was working peacefully on his presentation of CNVs and Mutations, as he was supposed to use it in his future lecture to create a better understanding among his students. He completed his presentation within two hours, turned off his laptop and started to leave. He had finished his current work and decided to go to lab for a check.
