I had to memorize all the capitals of central and south america for one class, and all the capitals of europe for another, and both quizzes were on the same day. i fried my brain staring at a map...time for some gaming. :thumbsup:


edit:

not only did i have to memorize capitals, i was given a map and had to draw in all the countries with their respective capitals. you would be suprised at how many countries in europe there are...over 40! :Q

Memorizing a few capitals fried your brain? Not the sharpest tool in the shed I see.

eh...not really. because for both classes, i was given a map and i had to draw in all the countries with their capitals, so i guess its harder than just memorizing capitals.

if you think that is hard, wait until you go to college and face real courses with real information to learn, not memorize

If you think college is hard, wait until you go to grad school and you take classes where the book is useless, the teachers can't teach, and you're tested on things you haven't covered but are expected to know. :p
