I'm one of those people.You know, those stupid people who end up on Jaywalking on The Tonight Show or who talk during movies.
As I sat in Environmental Science today, an entry-level course that I cannot mathematically make an A in unless the teacher drops a certain test grade for everyone, I realized I'm not as good of a U.S. citizen as I had thought. We were looking at U.S. map that didn't have states' names on it. Now, I can sing Fifty Nifty United States, which lists all 50 states in alphabetical order, but I don't think I can say where every state is located on the map. Maybe if I had an hour and a set of map pencils, I could, but not this morning. But seriously, can you do it? Try it in your head without writing anything down or looking stuff up. Seriously.
In other news, I locked my keys in my car at the gas station today. Fortunately, a campus police officer was eating lunch at Rosa's across the street from the station and was able to pop my lock. Sometimes, I'm amazed I've lived this long.

Don't feel bad Sarah. When I was at ACU I had a properly-sized length of coathanger wrapped around my bumper for those lockout situations, and used it more than once.
I probably haven't locked my keys in my car more than 5-6 times since college, though, and not in the last 5 if memory serves. It may be a phase of life thing.
Yes, I can name all the states, but then again I'm a visual processor, so that goes with the territory. I'm a little iffy on some of the state capitals more than likely, though.
