Today in History we were told to find and label certain areas/locations on a copy of a map. I was quite disappointed to see that Madrid, Berlin and London had to be labeled while Paris and Rome were left off of the list. In my experience Paris is much more influential on the rest of the world than Madrid currently is (though Spain was a large power in the past). Rome is easily the most important city in history, IMO. So I'll be labeling those on my map, even though it wasn't assigned.

I also managed to make myself look rather stupid today. I was attempting to locate Berlin (capitol of Germany, for those that my not realize) on the larger map. A star was located in the North-East of Germany, but the label for it was illegible. The teacher was talking to someone at the moment, so I waited for him to finish to ask if that star was Berlin. However, when I asked, I pointed to the star in North-East Poland. Why do two countries near in location and size have to have capitols in the same area of them?

Four-day weekend!
