Her first class started at 8.40. She had four lessons in the morning, and she sat in the same seat all the time. In japan, students stay in the same classroom and wait for their teacher.
There isn’t a cafeteria or a canteen at Yumiko’s school so, at 12.30, she stayed in her classroom with her classmates and ate her packed lunch. She had two more classes.
At 3 pm classes finished and it was time for o shoji. This is when students clean the school. Yumiko helped to tidy the classroom and, after that, she went to baseball club and practiced for two hours. Every student in Japan goes to a club after school. Some of the clubs, like Yumiko’s baseball club, even meet every Saturday and Sunday as wall.
