So I somehow forgot to post this entry last night because I got distracted by things. herpderp
Today, I answer the mystery of how I remember which months have 30 days vs 31?
You know what? If I'd answered this in December I'd've had a different answer. Well. A shorter answer, anyway.
There's that stupid little thing, "30 days has September, April, June, and November," right? And I've always hated it because the months are in a stupid order, and for a while I tried to swap November and September, since at least that way they'd be in sort-of order. But I could not get it to stick. Also I went through a phase where I added May in, though I could not tell you why.
BUT. When I went back to work in February, somehow this subject came up, and I learnt a new way that I like better. You made a fist so your knuckles stick up, then you count on them. So the first knuckle, that's January, right? And the first dip between them is February, so the months with 31 days are raised and the shorter months are not. So you count up to July that way, and then you want to hit them all equally so you hit your last knuckle again for August, and just go back. This would probably be better served by video or illustration or something, but I'm tired and lazy tonight, so deal with it. If you want a visual, I can get on on Saturday. I'm busy tomorrow. (AVENGERSSSSSSSS.)
AND THAT IS MY SECRET.
You'd think, though, at some point we'd just memorize this information, right?! (Nope.)
