hahaha so random, but I know what you are talking about! I visualize the months going on a vertical line. Probably has to do with being a teacher and that is how many calendars are set up in classrooms!
I chose in a vertical line, but really I think more in "blocks." Interesting question! I love talking about visualization stuff. Cool pic, btw.
I voted "horizontal" but I think I should have clicked other! I split the months on 2 lines. lol This is what mine looks like...
Jan Feb Mar April May June
July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec
Mostly a vertical line, but kind of in a "c" shape! Jan kitty corner to right and top of Feb and dec kitty corner and to bottom left of nov! Random!
for me it's a horizontal line and then i put the important dates in a vertical line though...
january february march april may june july august sept oct nov dec
feb 5 (m's little girl's bday)
march 16 (mom's bday)
april 1 (my son's bday)
etc
mine is a leftover from elementary school - i think one of my teachers must have had individual month calendars lined up on the wall. it looks like this:
sept oct nov dec jan feb march april may june july aug
of course it's for the academic year! just another thing to mess me up when i'm trying to remember what happened when.
Vertical line! And I tend to "highlight" my birthday month and vacation months, so January - March and September/October are itty bitty while May - August and December are big.
Wow what a creative and cool quesiton!! Mine is similar to yours @Chreee except my oval is kinda more squished, by mine is in an oval and it goes counterclockwise too. So weird that we all can think of the exact same thing in so many different ways :)
how funny! I see mine in a counter-clockwise circle with december at the top and june at the bottom.... never thought about it before and NO IDEA why?!
Awesome nerdy question! Mine is in a horizontal line, going from January through December. Sometimes I picture it in a classroom, maybe my kindergarten classroom? Weird, huh?
Okay this is an awesome question haha. So first I got sad bc I thought I didn't visualize it in any way and that I was a weirdo bc of that. Then I started counting off the months in my head and realized that for Jan-June my head moves down and July-December my head moves up. So I think I kind of think of it in two verticle lines similar to your oval but more rectangular like:
January December
February November
March October
April September
May August
June July
Although I think that Feb-August is prob more squished than September-January bc I like fall and winter a lot better than spring and summer. :)
Hmm... I felt like a loser at first because I couldn't really picture it, but then I realized that I see it in two columns:
January July
February August
March September
April October
May November
June December
Fun question!!
Mine is a 3d smushed oval -- like the view you'd have if you were in a track stadium in the bleachers. January is at 3 o'clock with July opposite at 9, and time runs clockwise. :) Fun question!
I see it as an arch with the months going around from right to left (would be counter-clockwise if the circle completed). The right end of the arch is Sept (around when school starts), the top is Jan., and the left end is June. The summer doesn't need to be on the calendar cuz it's summer...no schedule!!
This is completely wishful thinking on my part as it's been over 10 years since I had an unscheduled summer. :)
That's so funny that you see an oval in your head =) LOL. I would never ever think of an oval! I had to draw out a calendar once and I did it like this:
Jan Feb March April May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec
February 14th Valentines Day
February 15th Day we got engaged!!!
Definitely a horizontal line. Sometimes I think in terms on Jan.-Dec. but more often from Sept.-Aug. because I'm a teacher. I always find myself thinking "oh that happened my second year of teaching" instead of "that happened in X year."
I visualize mine going in a vertical calendar, pretty much like how a wall calendar would be with each month under the next.
Hahaha..I've always wondered if other people see it the same way as me..apparently they don't.
I see it as a square with kind of rounded corners. January, February and March are across the top, April, May June, down a side, July, August at the bottom and September, October, November and December wrap up the last side. So it's more of an upside down trapezoid I guess!
I don't really "see it" in my head, because ever since I learned to figure out the number of days in a month on my knuckles, I refer to my knuckles every time now. Tell me someone knows what I'm talking about?? LOL
So I guess I would picture it the same way in my head, from L to R Jan - July then back the other way with Aug - Dec
LOL! This is an interesting question...when I first picture a calendar, I see the regular calendar Jan-Dec with all of the days in each month...in rows of 3...LOL...blame it on MS Outlook. Weirdly enough though...when I actually think about where a date actually falls on the calendar...like my b-day...I mentally rearrange the months into a vertical line.
mine is one long horizontal line. makes it easier to count days when i have to span several months!
Mine's a grid, according to how I view the seasons:
Winter: December January February
Spring: March April May
Summer: June July August
Fall: September October November
I visualize each month as a vision of the calendar month and kid of flip forward and backwards. This probably does not make sense, but it does in my head!
what a funny question... when I was in univeristy I always saw it broken up like my school's trimester system
Sept Oct Nov Dec
Jan Feb Mar Apr
May June July August
Now totally see it like it's printed on my business card sized wallet calendar, but still in blocks of four months, horizontally but starting in January like a normal person...
I don't know why, but his is how I visualize it. I never realized that it's not that common until the hubby and I sat down and drew the months out when we were trying to pick a wedding date, lol. So yeah, I think I'm in the "Other" category :)

Interesting question!
I've never really paid much attention to how I visualize the calendar year... However, I do have a special way of visualizing weeks. A week is like an inverted V... so like this character: ^ It starts on Monday at the bottom left, then moves up to Tuesday, Wednesday is the apex, then goes down on Thursday and Friday is the bottom right, then the weekend is a horizontal line in two pieces (one for Saturday, one for Sunday) that connects that week to the next. Like this: ^--^--^--^--
Wow! It's so neat to see how differently everybody thinks - thanks everyone :)
I see it vertically, but in blocks. One line: September-December. Second: January-May Third: June-August. Thanks, academic calendar!

So I was working out some dates at work today and trying to count forwards and backwards from certain months in my mind. I was getting myself confused so I drew out the calendar year with all twelve months to help me figure it out.
As I was writing out my visual representation of the calendar year that I "see" in my mind, it occurred to me that everyone probably has a very different representation of the calendar year in their own minds.
I want to hear about yours! I'm really interested to see how everyone views the calendar in their mind - I bet we'll see some really differing ideas here.
I drew up a little picture to show how I see the calendar in my mind...I tried to represent it exactly as I see it in my head. From the words being written out in a counterclockwise fashion to the color/size of the words to the spacing between them. The only thing is that the background is not black in my mind...I'm not sure if it has a color...but it had to be black for the other colors to show up.
