(Sorry, Gabe - but your system doesn't work. If you convert from earth time to NSA time, and then back to earth time, you end up one year short of what it should be. I clarified and added more explanation, and a note about the accuracy of this system of time.) |

NSA time corresponds with earth time, such as books like Narnia. Narnian time and earth time intersect but are random in span. Not so with NSA. An NSA year is one quarter of a school year. This does make the fourth year longer (because it includes not just the last school quarter, but also summer, think of it like a leap year) | NSA time corresponds with earth time, such as books like Narnia.

So, to get NSA years from Earth years:<ref>The first NSA year was actually the spring school quarter. This means that while NSA years follow school quarters, they do not technically follow school years - they spans two school years, e.g. the 2019-2020 school year, and 2020-2021. However, this is quite hard to understand, so for clarity, we will leave it out of the explanation. If you're still confused, talk to Gabe.</ref> | So, to get NSA years from Earth years:<ref><cite class="note">The first NSA year was actually the spring school quarter.
