Globes and White Houses

Right next to me I have a really old globe. I mean, it still has an east and west Germany. And probably many other things that don't belong. I wouldn't really know because all my geography seems to teach me is the capitals of all the 3rd world countries and something about Mount Kilimanjaro. I just think it's weird that the globe is always changing when the actual earth isn't(other than when Japan moves around).
    And what is up with Iceland? It's freaking half the size of America. I guess I don't look at globes enough(I mean, really, who looks at globes enough :p.....) and it just makes everything seems either (a) really big or (b) really small...... Hmmm..... Strange situation hmmmmm???
     Anyway. Speaking of things on earth, I'm pretty sure I'm going to see the White house this week(why am I only "pretty sure"? Well, because my parents are insane and never plan anything.) I think seeing the White House will be cool. I mean, I would have liked to see it while a President I actually liked was in, but people-who-have-never-been-to-Maryland can't be choosers.
