It is what it is...

I received an email today explaining the upcoming "7 Day Holiday." Except it's not 7 days at all. It's three days plus a weekend, and we have to make up classes by moving around our schedule to the weekend before. It's the crazy Chinese way. But why not just call it what it is? A three day holiday.

Here's the email....anyone confused? :)

We will have a seven-day holiday for celebrating the Chinese National Day; that is from Sept.29th to Oct.5th, among which Oct.1^st, Oct. 2^nd, and Oct.3^rd are three lawful holidays. On Oct.4 and Oct.5^th 3^rd we will enjoy our Saturday and Sunday as usual. But if you originally have class on Oct.29 and Oct.30, then you need to come to have that class on Oct. 27 and Oct 28 respectively; meanwhile, if you originally have class on Sept.27th and Sept 28th, then you need to come to have that class on Sept 29^h and Sept.30^th respectively. In other words, if normally you do not have class on Sunday and Saturday, then you will be free on Oct 29 and Oct. 30; but on Oct.27 and Oct.28 we will have Monday’s and Tuesday’s classes for substitution. Please see the table:

DATE	Sept. 27	Sept. 28	Sept. 29	Sept. 30	Oct. 1	Oct. 2	Oct.3	Oct.4	Oct.5
Adjustment	Sept .29’s class	Sept.30’s class	Sept.27’s class	Sept.28’s class	Lawful holiday	Lawful holiday	Lawful holiday	Saturday	Sunday
