Finally Have Interview Date -YESSSSSSSSSS

[Buck and Natalia 0]

It only took a mere 306 days from petition submission to interview date. We were very much on the slow side and the good news is that, statiscally, you should receive your interview date much sooner than we did. Nevertheless, we are thankful for our many blessings and VERY GLAD to finally have an interview date.

Here are some other things that took about 300 days:

Construction of Wembley Stadium, London (1923)

Eruption of Mauna Loa (1859)

Marco Polo's Journey to China (15th Century)

Length of Year in First Roman Calendar ** (753 B.C.)

** Early Romans did not count the first two months on the grounds that nothing "important" happened during those cold dark first 60 days.

Awesome news! Can't wait to see that approval post!

And about those crazy Romans and their "new" calendar.... when they finally did add the two extra months, way, way, way down the line, they added them smack-dab in the middle of summer. July (for Julius Caesar) and August (for Augustus) were added to the calendar during some of the nicest weather of the year; perfect for hosting festivals and gladitorial spectacles "during the month of Rome's greatest leaders!"

That's the reason September (the number septus is Latin for 7) is actually the 9th month, October (Octagons have how many sides?) is 10th, November (novus = 9) 11th and December (Decimation, decigrams, decathlon.... all units of 10) is the 12th month.

Sorry, Latin class always had the cutest girls in it so I was awake for most of the four years or so that I was forced to take it.
