A/N: This is something I originally made for my own benefit to make sure I was understanding the passage of time correctly. I decided to go ahead and share it since I figured that you guys might like to see it, too. The year is completely made up by me but the amount of time between every event should be more or less accurate. I am aware that, in Volume 3, Ruby states that the current season is fall which would mean that Beacon starts its school year at a different time but, by the time I noticed that, it was too late to fix it.
