Worldly Wise

Guys. Today in U.S. Foreign Policy Law class we were discussing the number of women in governments around the world. (My Russian professor has a smidge of hostility towards the EU and took great pleasure in pointing out that in the European Parliament, women only account for 35% of the members. We tried to point out that it was still one of the highest percentages in the world, but he just cackled "but it's not equal!") ANYWAY, I was curious about percentages of women in government in other countries, so I went to my steadfast source: the CIA World Factbook. And I was surprised to see that the website had been redesigned! It looks practically professional now. The "search" function still sucks, mainly because the results do not have a summary and are not listed in any order of relevance or date. Overall, it's a huge improvement over when I started using this website in the sixth grade.

This post has no purpose other than I am bored in class and my professor will not tell us what is going to be on our exam on MONDAY. How am I supposed to study? Am I expected to learn all 750 pages of this book? MAJOR FAIL.
