South Africa has 14 public holidays this year. By an accident of history, four are in April (five if you count 1 May). So, there have been few complete weeks this month.
My refrigeration class at CPUT has been affected. The class meets on Monday and Wednesday. There are nine Mondays and Wednesdays in April: two were out due to Spring Break, two were deleted by public holidays, and two were taken by a laboratory exercise. So, I gave only three lectures in the entire month. I planned for this, of course, but it feels like the class has paused for the month.
