I've been working on the states and their names and locations, and I think I'm doing fairly well. Their capitals though...
I realized while working on learning the capitals that that's of no use to me. I don't gain anything in knowing the capitals of every state. What I do benefit from knowing, is the biggest city in each state. So, I'm actually going to change this task into being:
077. Learn the names of all the States in the US, where they’re located and their biggest city
(And yes, I can do this as this is my list!)

077. Learn the names of all the States in the US, where they’re located and their capitals
I've started on this task.
I thought it would be easier to kind of divide it, so I'm now working on getting the names and locations of the states right before I start to add the capitals. I have a card game at home I can use (a gift from my knitting friend iKate) but I'm also using this.
There are some states I have more difficulties with than others. Like Delaware. And Wyoming. And if Indiana is west of Ohio or if it's the other way around.
But I'm getting better and better. Sometimes I can go through them all without any mistakes at all. I think my best was four times without any mistakes. And then suddenly Ohio and Indiana acted up on me...
