Why I Like February 2009

There is one thing that I always look forward to every February, well, not EVERY February (every 4 years it tends to be messed up). One of my favorite things about February is that it has 28 days (except for those messed up years). I know, odd. Let me explain. I like that there are 28 days because 28 is divisible by 7...the number of days in a week, so that means that there is the same number of each day for every day of the week...4 of everything! Not that I'm trying to be fair to all of the days of the week, it's not like they even notice the equal portions in the month. 28 days also means that March is like a February repeat...March 1st will land on the same day of the week as Feb. 1st as well as all the other days of the month corresponding to the previous month's day of the week. The reason why I like February 2009 in particular is the fact that the calendar is a perfect rectangle (as long as the calendar starts with a Sunday and ends with a Saturday for each week). Now, I really don't think about this all that much, it's just something I've noticed and it just looks like a lot of thought as it takes a lot of words to describe what I'm thinking. I've noticed that I don't always explain my thought process and that generally leaves a lot of people confused as to where my comments come from, so I'm doing better at explaining myself.
