hello

I' ll be meeting Peter outside the library at 4 O'clock so that I can ask him if he's finished with you book.
I meet outside the library at 4 O'clock on Tuesdays he has a class that finishes just before then.

both examples are routine something you do very regurlarly , but I would like to know if routines can imply voluntary actions.?In both cases am I "obliged" to see Peter? it is not voluntary
Could it be possible to say :
I meet Peter outside the library 4 O'clock so that I can ask him if he has finished with your book.
I 'll be meeting outside the library at 4 O'clock on Tuesdays he has a class that finishes just befopre then.

what is the difference between these

I will see Peter outside the library at 4 o'clock even I should miss my fave film.
I am meeting him outside the library at 4 o'clock everything has been planned

First example means I must absolutly see Peter but nothing has been planned
Second example I am almost sure to see Peter, but is it a necessity in that case ?

Thanks for your answer

This sounds as if asking him about the book is your main or sole purpose in meeting Peter.
