copyFrom:14 to: 17 copies 4 characters. You're testing a 4 character long string against a 3 character long string. That's why the test fails. Either change it to copyFrom: 15 to:17 or add a trimBoth send to month temp var.
You may have an easier time not using temp variables in the workspace as you can then explore/inspect them more easily to see what they contain after the calculation has or has not done what you expected.
