Today is Leap Day; anything is possible

It takes the earth 365 days and 6 hours to perform a complete revolution around the sun. This means that a surplus of 24 hours is accumulated every four years — a leap year.

Leap Day is one of a handful of rare days that don’t count. If it were an important day, we would celebrate it more often.  Leap Day is a day when crazy things happen and anything is possible. As declared by Liz Lemmon’s boyfriend Criss (yes, Criss) on last week’s episode of 30 Rock, “It’s Leap Day. Real Life is for March.”

The editorial board of The Daily Cougar plans to make the most of its Leap Day by trying to do things on campus that normally appear impossible:

Try to find a parking space on campus at noon. We might have to act as chauffeurs to complete this one.

Try to find a place to eat on campus after 8 p.m. We’ll bring food from home in case our mission fails.

Try to remember all of our UH logins. The Daily Cougar believes that less is more.

Try to find a clean bathroom on campus. We’ll probably just end up making the trek from the UC Satellite to The Hilton for this one.

Try to enter the Roy G. Cullen building without running into a hipster — this one is probably impossible.

Try to get a phone signal in the library. Those of us who do not have AT&T have the best chance at completing this one.

Try to get wifi in Agnes Arnold. Remember, persistence is key. You might just get lucky on Leap Day.

Try to pass by the M.D. Anderson Library without being approached by someone from Green Peace. The best way to do this one is to look like a rational human being.

Try catching the elevator in Cougar Village. It would be faster to take the stairs, but who wants to exercise on Leap Day?
