Leap Day 2008!

Here it is... we've been having such fun that this year we get an extra day: 366 days of the year! Seriously, tomorrow is a leap day. We only get one every four years. That means there is only one leap day in your entire college career (assuming you only go for four years). I think that that is reason enough to celebrate. Why don't we celebrate this wonderful day? I mean we celebrate St. Patrick's day on a day that is not even St. Patrick's day! Maybe it's because we don't understand this 29th day of February. Well, according to Wikipedia: "A leap year is a year containing one or more extra days in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year. " That's it, that's all there is to it. So why not celebrate. Come on everybody, let's get crazy and take advantage of this extra 24 hours. I mean, we'll have to wait four more years to celebrate it again.

Fun fact: Leap years fall on the same year as US presidential elections!

Happy leap day!
