#GOAL
#Create a program that allows the user to choose a time and date, and then prints out a message at given intervals (such as every second)
# that tells the user how much longer there is until the selected time.

#SUBGOALS
#If the selected time has already passed, have the program tell the user to start over.
#If your program asks for the year, month, day, hour, etc. separately, allow the user to be able to type in either the month name or its number.
#TIP: Making use of built in modules such as time and datetime can change this project from a nightmare into a much simpler task.
