This is a test

The following is a test of your intelligence and aptitude for navigating the confusing waters of Chinese scheduling.  As you remember, this Saturday is Monday, March 1st in the eyes of the university.  Except for a slight change now.  This Saturday morning is Monday, March 1st unless you teach in a multimedia classroom.  In the schedule shuffle, it seems the university forgot that Saturday must also be March 6th, since March 6th is the national date for the TEM-8, the English proficiency test for all English majors.  Consequently, all multimedia classrooms are in use for the examination Saturday morning. I do indeed have a class in a multimedia classroom Saturday morning.  Here comes the true test of your mental prowess: Monday, March 8th is now Monday March 1st for the morning multimedia class and Wednesday March 10th is Monday March 8th.  Your head swimming yet?  Don’t worry, Saturday afternoon is still Monday, March 1st regardless of classroom type.

So what does this all really mean?  Basically, it means I’m a few weeks out from really finding a routine.  However, I went out and bought school supplies today and am arranging all my materials.  By this time tomorrow I will be back in the classroom and all will be right in the world again…in a typical twisted, unpredictable, confusing Chinese manner.
