each leap year

Thirty days hath September,

April, June, and November;

All the rest have thirty-one,Save February, with twenty-eight days clear,

And twenty-nine each leap year.

Whilst I am usually the one remembering what date it is, I was so confused in my Chemistry class today when a friend began wondering aloud whether anyone had a birthday today. Why would you care, I asked. I had completely forgotten that it was a leap year!
I like the idea of having an extra 'free day'. After school, mine was spent looking at hotels, chatting with my family, and next I'll be reading Freckled. Such little things that are everyday occurrences but somehow more special just because it's 29th February.

Also, I can't believe it's nearly March. How did that happen? Tomorrow, the GFC followers won't be available on non-Blogger blogs. Whilst this is a .blogspot blog, I know it's nice to have all the blogs you read in one place, and so there's other options here.
