A quick sign of life :)

I have been out of sight (though hopefully not out of mind) these last days.
It turned out that the exam I'll be taking on Thursday requires a LOT more studying than I anticipated.... (of course it did... it always does *rolls eyes at herself*)

Anyway, I actually wanted to spend this evening giving my brain a break and get some writing done, but alas, I opted to go climbing instead this afternoon, so I'm stuck with doing this instead tonight:



And yes - if I had known that I would have to torment my poor self with geography, I sure as fuck wouldn't have signed up for that exam... Damn!

So, if anyone of you has a handy trick how I'll be able to wrap my head around locating the individual states on the map of the US, please do share! (As it stands, I feel reasonable confident that I might be able to locate Texas, California and possibly Florida... which really doesn't help my confidence about passing the test at all...........)

Anyway, I wanted to say I'm more or less alive still, I'm thinking about you and I'll be back catching up with you on Thursday (hopefully) or Friday (at the very latest)!

*hugs you all*

I can only ever locate the ones I've been to!

This link might help you test your knowledge...

:D you might have hit the problem square on the head there - I haven't ever been to any of the states, so all I have to fall on back to is my very hazy recollection of long-ago geography lessons that I more or less spent daydreaming ;)

Thanks for the link! That's a real godsend!!!!

I doubt that I can help you with that (can never remember exactly where a state is except of California and Idaho for obvious reasons), but, eh, good luck on your overloaded exams!

Thanks!

(Guess what's not in the exam? Right, Idaho! ;) )

It's nothing. :) Oh damn it, how could they not put that beautiful place? Such a shame~ (Talk Talk's song is playing on my mind right now hehe)

Well, I'm guessing the people of Idaho haven't committed (particularly noteworthy) crimes against Native Americans, nor were they leading figures/participants in the Revolution, the Civil War or the Indian Wars, so they're not on my list ;)

Good for them!

Idaho citizens are nice and peaceful people then. ;)

Good for Viggo too!
