I walked home from my Chaucer class today with Kate from MO, who lives a floor below me (she's one of those incredibly sweet, obviously Midwestern girls). As we came into the Village, this guy stops us and asks us where we're from. She says MO, I say WI.
Guy: Do you go to Madison, then?
Me: No. I go to St. Olaf, in MN.
Guy: Oh. You sound like you're from MN.
(Anyway, turns out he's from Las Vegas. Don't know his name, though.)
ETA: Is it better to sound like I'm from Wisconsin or from Minnesota? And which would be most accurate?

I'm thinking you're sounding a bit English. Mom
Well, I think it's better to sound like you're from WI, but, being from Madison, I'm naturally a bit biased. :P
