I copied the nondescript shape onto my notebook, and then turned to ask him, "What state is this?" "Pennsylvania," he answered, and then gave this weird huff of breath that functions as a chuckle, which I've inadvertently picked up because it's such a convenient way of laughing. Yes, I am learning the map of America. Fifty motherfucking states in a country. (And a federal district, says Wikipedia.) It's interesting to be on the other side. Who knew Massachusetts was not south of New York. My first quiz on that certainly did not, and if I thought I could get partial credit by writing Boston all over Pennsylvania I was wrong.
This country is huge, and I feel like I'm never going to leave.

Mayzgee,
As a resident of the 26th state to join America's union I offer any help you may need in learning about the United States.
Just curious, is this a class you are learning about the U.S.A?
BTW, first visit to your site!
Nice to meet another writer.
David
