Hey, I'm Elana [I know, that's exciting in and of itself]. I'm 24 years old and a recent English graduate from the University of Western Ontario. Going away for school was the best decision I have ever made and I urge you all to try it. Sure, it's expensive - but how can you put a price on sanity? Or parental freedom? Moving back home (after three years of unadulterated freedom) was, and still is, a huge adjustment.

But I'm dealing.

After much soul searching, I finally decided to enroll in a Public Relations program at Seneca College. I've been in the program for almost two months now. The workload is overwhelming, but I love it.

I have a deep fascination with the versatile quality of language, and revere writers capable of creating something beautiful out of the mundane (either through appropriation or more creative means). At times, my passion for language (and music) consumes me to the point of explosion. Even after four years of "higher-education", I still find myself struggling with this passion, unable to channel it into something constructive.

I concern myself with my loved ones' well-being more frequently than my own. I love literary theory & post-modern literature. I love writing & editing. I love non-restrictive clauses and the joy they bring to an otherwise boring piece of writing.

I love music and listen to a wide assortment of different bands, musicians and genres. Do not hate on my music taste. Yes, I listen to some top 40 and no, my intension is not to fit in with the masses. Sure, my music taste is eclectic but then again, so am I. If you try and define me as a person based on my attire and musical preferences, you'll fail. You may think you have me tagged but awww, sorry! You don't.
