#8 - 8 am Class on Saturday Morning

Last week was a holiday. National week. (See the video from the previous post if you want to see what that's all about.) In China, if there is a holiday, you usually have to "make up" days. But you can't make up all of them. We were out of school for a week. So what do we do? We have class on Saturday and Sunday!!!!! Saturday is Monday and Sunday is Friday. Then Monday will be Monday even though it will feel like Wednesday. Wednesday will be Wednesday even though it should be Friday. And Friday... I don't even want to think about what Friday will feel like. All I know is it will be lucky day number 7 of school in a row.

So we had class today, on Saturday morning at 8 am. What do I love more than class at 8 am on Saturday morning? Yup you got it! A quiz on Saturday morning at 8 am. Yes my Speaking Class teacher gave us a quiz, to the half of class that was actually there. Yes... she decided to be that type of teacher. After a week long vacation, after only 3 weeks of actual class "let's have a quiz at 8 am on Saturday morning." Brilliant! (A little shout out to Wisconsin in that link there too. Go Brewers! I'm currently wearing a Brewers shirt. Oh and Booooo Yankees! Thanks Tigers!)

Needless to say, today was rough. Tomorrow should be better, even though its just as weird going to class on Sunday morning. I taught every other Saturday and Sunday when I was an English teacher a few years ago. Yet there's nothing quite as fun as 8 am class on Saturday morning after a week of vacay!
