The months of the year and what time they mean

[-Apples-]

So just letting you know, I made it up to 110 entries now. I would label this as my 110th entry, but I won't name it that. Another thing is that I have been talking a lot about site activity and review of the past year, and I'm about to leave that section. As another wrap-up to a 10-entry section, I will talk about the twelve months of the year, and what do they mean based on how a year progresses.

You probably know all this by now, and you may know what each are about, but I like to share that on my blog. So please do not post any rude comments. I work hard on these blogs, and it's not nice to post rude things.

As a huge fan of studying dates and days of the week, I seem to enjoy talking about weird stuff like this. Tomorrow is the first double-digit day of the year in both by month and on the long count (1 to 365). I can tell what day of the week each date is on without cheating. But now, I'm going to talk about each month and how much has the year passed when it gets to that point.

• January - the year is fresh on the calendar. When the month begins, a new year begins. Even if the month is already coming to an end, there's still much left in the year to go.
• February - the first month may be over, but the year is still new. Every date in February (as well as January) are in the dawn of a year.
• March - the first quarter is about to end. The year is no longer new, but it's still pretty early in the year.
• April - the first quarter is over, but the first third is still moving. It may be early in the year, but it's not that early in the year anymore.
• May - the first third is over. At this point, the mid-year begins. There's still much left in the year, but a big deal of it has passed.
• June - as the time progresses deeper into the mid-year, the first half of the year ends at this point. It's still a long way until the year ends, but when the month ends, there's just as much left in the year as the time elapsed.
• July - it's still in the heart of the mid-year, but both the second quarter and first half have passed at this point. The year is definitely no longer new, but it isn't old yet.
• August - the mid-year is already coming to an end. The majority of the year is over, but a huge chunk of the year remains.
• September - the mid-year (second third) is over as the last third begins. When the heat of the summer ends, it signals that the year is coming to an end. It's not quite late in the year, but it's already getting late.
• October - the last quarter of the year begins in October. The year is already old at this point. However, there's still time left in the year, and it isn't quite dusk yet.
• November - it's already at the dusk of the year. It continues dying as it keeps progressing. The year is old, but it's not at the end yet.
• December - the year is finally at the last month. The extreme majority of the year has passed, and it won't continue any longer.

On a fractional scale, here's how much time each has passed. We know that January means that the previous year is over and the new year either hasn't progressed yet or has progressed, but through a small amount.

• February - 1/12 complete. It may be one month, but there's a lot to go.
• March - 1/6 complete.
• April - 1/4 complete. One quarter has passed at this point.
• May - 1/3 complete. One third has passed.
• June - 5/12 complete.
• July - 1/2 complete. Half the year has passed, which includes two quarters.
• August - 7/12 complete.
• September - 2/3 complete. Two thirds of the year have passed.
• October - 3/4 complete. Three quarters have passed.
• November - 5/6 complete.
• December - 11/12 complete. The year may be mostly over, but there's only one month left.

And remember, you may all know this, but I felt like writing this blog entry. I don't know why, it's just some facts about the year.
