For graduate school I ended up going to the University of Iowa, which is, of course, the best graduate writing program in the country.

Iowa City is okay as Midwestern cities go, but there's no food, no culture, no ocean.

One Moment in Time because I think it describes me as a person and how I felt about being on the show.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.
