    Dang, that sucks and I’m sorry you had to deal with that. I’m actually from Iowa, so I feel extra bad–at the state’s flagship university no-less. There’s certainly plenty of judgemental and close minded people around here. I’m glad you found a better environment.

      Don’t worry! As soon as I knew I had to move to there to have a job, I was looking for another job. I really didn’t want to live there. I just kind of put up with it and found a way to go back to my east coast, where I could speak freely with my trashy accent and be in good company. No offense to you and where you live, which I dislike. Just not a place I wanted to live in. I worked there and found my escape. If you ever wish to secede from the United States, by the way, feel free. I’ll vote in favor.
