6. Hanging my head in shame
I'm certain that you did great on the Canadian geography quiz too.

Please forgive me :cry: I promise I'll study and do better next time, either that or I'll cheat.

3. LynneSin, you broke my heart!
Why oh WHY did you do this to me? :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Now seriously: I do horrible at the USA quiz. I screw up completely both flyover country and those teeny tiny East Coast states.

16. These are the States I can point unaided at the map
West to East (sort of):

California
Oregon
Washington
Nevada
Utah
New Mexico
Arizona
Colorado (because it's the perfectly rectangular one)
Louisiana
Mississippi
Tennessee
Florida
Georgia
Indiana (vroom vroom)
New York
New Hampshire
Maine
Massachusetts
Alaska
Hawaii

I did more points than that because of the "no, that's XXX" helpful hints the quiz gives. Now, for instance, I am aware of where Minnesota, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Virginia, West Virginia, North & South Dakota, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey are.

But I'll forget most of it tomorrow, I'm sure.

Brazil is WAY easier. It has only 26 States. When I was learning them in 1st grade, my Mom would tell me how lucky I was for not being in Spain -- 17 autonomous regions, further divided into 50 provinces. Yikes. She'd mention the USA too.

17. YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE DELAWARE, THE HEART OF THE USA, IS LOCATED?????
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:



This should help you!!! It's the most important state in the World and you should know its location by heart




:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I'll be quizzing you tomorrow about it's location. BTW, Wilmington, the most important city in the world, is my hometown

LEARN DAMNIT!!!

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

19. It's only visible under a microscope!
Edited on Tue Jun-08-04 12:02 PM by JCCyC
That is the one I had the LEAST chance of getting! (endures abuse by LynneSin)

OK, OK! I'll forget all others but remember Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and that tiny speck of dust between them. (DUCKS!)

Edit: I REALLY suck, don't I?

4. 39/39.
I guessed right on which was Guyana and which was French Guiana (I knew Suriname was the middle one of the three).

For god sakes I dated a chick from Peru. The only one I got on the first try was Brazil.

Geography was never my strong suit any damn way.
