Friday Five

[lotusbiosm]

1) This is the 1st of September, what do you want to accomplish by the 31st?
I want a job and a place to live while I do that job. And I want my exhibit finished and up on the wall.

2) What does September make you think about or feel?
School. Falling leaves. This is the first September in my memory when I don't have classes to go to.

3) September is the ninth month; can you name nine memories so far from this year?
Moving into my new place with Kate and Nathanael helping. Getting lost trying to move. Getting a new job. Breaking up with Gabe. Visiting Mandie for Hot Dog Day. Giving a big presentation for my historic preservation class. Graduation on the National Mall. Coming home from Liz's in the pouring rain and having to transfer to the bus because the train lines were flooded. Going to RFK stadium all by myself and sitting in nosebleed seats drinking a beer that cost more than the ticket.

4) What does September have in common with three other months and can you name them?
October, November, December= all months named for Latin numbers.
December, March, June= months with the first official day of a new season (December- winter solstice, March- spring equinox, June- summer solstice, September-fall equinox)

5) The first weekend in September signals the end of summer for many even though it doesn’t really end for weeks. When does summer end for you?
Normally I'd say when school starts up, but I'm not going back. I suppose when fall tv starts again. But I didn't really have a summer, so....

It really says 31st? Wow! ;-)

April, June, and November also have a link with September... which should be obvious from the line above this one!

Yeah, I just C&P'd. I thought there were more months with only 30 (since it it tends to alternate, but August screws up the pattern. Stupid Caesars). But nope, only 4.
It's a weird question, because usually Friday Fives don't have any sort of "right answer", but that one feels like it has something they were looking for. But I suppose the months I chose say something about me.

Yeah, I think it's still possible to give an individual answer. For me, it could be May, August, [September] and October, since that was when all my immediate family (and the last two boyfriends/DH) had their birthdays, in the days before smallclanger came along. ;-)
