A shorter-term question is bothering me this time, and it's one that may affect others.

As far as I can compare the local calendar to the one I'm familiar with at home, my birthday is coming up soon. On the other hand, when I arrived here, I was expecting my birthday to be a good five months off.

Should I mark it now, or wait another three months? I can't decide which would be easier to remember. How are others grappling with it?

Personally, I'd go with your world's original calendar, since that would be marking your age properly.

But I'm also used to thinking as someone who'd have to go to other worlds on a regular basis. In this specific situation, it probably wouldn't matter too much which way you choose as long as you're consistent about it.

A fair point, all told. At least the days more or less line up, so I'll have a mostly accurate count either way - otherwise I would probably just go with the local calendar and save myself a headache.

That is pretty convenient. I imagine it probably would be difficult to do if the months here were only three weeks long or something like that.

It really would.

I'm leaning toward just marking it three months from now and saving myself the aggravation.

Like I said before, that does seem to make the most sense.

We do have enough to deal with here as is without having to wonder about things like thiis.
