Starting a new tri at my school and having to change my schedule all the time. I also laugh at the fact that today the world works for free, nobody gets payed for their work today, which also is sad.

Julius Caesar
It wasn’t until Julius Caesar came to power that people observed a 355 day calendar, with an extra 22 day month. This was a problem because it caused the feast days to fall under different seasons. Caesar ordered his astronomer, Sosigenes to simplify things. Soseignes then made a 365 day year, with an extra day every 4 years. Thus, February 29th was born.

Leap Day
In our class today we are studying Leap Year, I found this entertaining fun fact: Sadie Hawkins Day, honors “the homeliest gal in the hills” created by Al Capp in the cartoon strip Li’l Abner.

Trivia
Leap year comes every four years and years that end in 00 are typically not leap years however years that are divisible by 4 are leaps years so 1600 and 2000 are leaps years so years like 2100 or 1500 or not. So today I am researching interesting facts and listening to music from the eighties.
