i pity the fool who lives in malta.

i have to say, memorizing and reciting 50 things didn't kill me inside like i thought it would. ;)
i don't know if anyone else felt like they were speaking in warp speed up there, but i definitely felt like i was up in front of the class for about 10 seconds. maybe because my list wasn't too difficult. well, it was difficult for me because i seriously lack in the skills needed for memorization. and i learned something with my list - like there's a town called scobey. and poplar.
if anyone's dieing to know how i commit ed all the towns/cities to memory, you don't have to be a carmen sandiego gumshoe to figure it out. i think alot of us went for the alphabetical method - it's just so practical.
one thing i loved *loved* about everyone's memory stuff was that we all suddenly got a case of ceiling eyes (if you don't know what i mean by that, just google pictures of audrina patridge from the hills. she is permanently looking up. it is weird.). seriously, no one looked down. it reminded me of how you can supposedly tell if someone is lying to you if they look down and to the left or something like that. i wish i could lie when things were important, but most of my lies are weak-sauce - like, "yeah, i've totally been to plentywood. love it there. awesome gas station." and most of my lies are forgettable, much like the town of plentywood. ZING! j/k
anyway, whether you looked at the ceiling or bored into the soul of people in your direct line of sight, i think everyone did a great job memorizing stuff. you go, class. you go.

p.s. hope you all have fun in class on friday - i'll be on my way to chicago in a plane that will probably smell like feet and hand sanitizer. strike that - it WILL smell like feet and hand sanitizer. happy spring break!
