leap year 

(n.) A year where Febuary has 29 days. This is because the earth actually takes 365.24 days to orbit the sun completely. This figure is rounded to 365.25, so after four years, we have to add an extra day. However, since it is actually a little less than a whole day, every 100 years we will be a day ahead. There are 10 leap years in 100 years, and hence, we must miss one of these years. This was last done in 1900, and shall next be done in 2100, hence, it is unlikely many of us will live to see the next one, unless this definitions is still here (along with urbandictionary of course!) in many years' time.
1) Every year divisible by four is a leap year (1996,2000, 2004);

2) Unless it is also divisible by 100 (1700, 1800, 1900, 2100).


3) However, if a year is divisible by 4, 100 and 400, it is a leap year (1600, 2000, 2400)

You can easily figure out a leap year if it ends with 00 such as 2000, 2100 or if the year is divisible by 4, 2024/4 is 506. Examples of this include 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 1924, 1960, 1984, 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2024.

leap year drunk

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
