Winter Break: Rules and Regulations

Only a handful of teachers showed up yesterday, so I managed to finish a whole book and still have time to spare. A group of seven of us went out for lunch together to a place called Boulanger that sells sandwiches, pastries, doughnuts, and other bread products for about a dollar apiece. (The sandwiches are each a dollar. The drinks are three dollars and up. That's Japan for you.)

I amused myself by reading the handouts on my desk. These are lists of rules given to the students before winter break. I thought I'd repeat a couple of them here, so you can see how much influence the schools have (or try to have) over students' lives.
