Geography isn't my forte either (apparently)

First thing in geography class on Tuesday someone asked when the final was scheduled.

Answer: Thursday, December 11.

That meant we had only two class meetings until the final. (Counting Tuesday)

Yikes.

So when he mentioned the map test would be on Thursday, we were all like, "Yeah. Ok. Cool."

When he then decided that he would cut the map portion in half, but we could choose which map, we were like, "Dude. You rock."

It was when the vote came in that it was decided the test would be South America. Ironically, in a class of 40-ish people, only five voted on SA. But, in keeping in tune of American voting, the popular vote didn't get it, but the electoral college (read: instructor) decided.

Kinda like the election of 1860.

***Updated*** Fiona GRACIOUSLY helped me out on this little fact. I knew there was a nasty election where Congress actually decided the final vote. I was too lazy to look up the year (before I posted) for sure, but I am referring to the election of 1876. Thank-you Fiona. Let's just say I am not doing well with this era up to and including the Civil war. Carry on....

Or, in keeping in South American culture, the people can vote, but the dictator (read: instructor) decided.

Here is the map and the 54 componets we are responsible for knowing. OH! I didn't I make myself clear?

The test is THIS Thursday.

I know that is hard to see... The areas I know already are colored in.

1. Falkland Islands
54. Easter Island
53. Galapagos Islands
32. Chili
44. Straits of Magellan
52. Brasilia
51. Rio

Ok. Maybe I should study....
