Born This Way

So....

I guess I should start with my name...Riannon.  I know it looks kind of scary, but it's not so bad after you hear it a few times.  If it helps though, you can call me Ray or Rain, a lot of people find that easier :)  I was born in Toronto, but my parents moved to Kelowna before I was even 6 months old, so I consider myself a B.C. and Kelowna girl.  I was a major tomboy growing up and always loved sports.  I used to ski a LOT when my family lived up at Big White (a ski hill near Kelowna), but when we moved, I switched to volleyball and now that is my favourite sport.  I went to 2 different high schools and really enjoyed the experience of switching environments, which is why I tried 2 universities as well.  This will be my 3rd year, but only my second at UVIC; I attended UBCO in Kelowna as well.  I found that the city of Victoria and the University were a better feel for me and so I stayed.  My roommate and I have also started working on starting the first Sorority here at UVIC and I can't wait until things start rolling along, we're having our first meeting on Tuesdays.  My major is in English and I'm also minoring in German Studies, but I've taken some writing, psychology, women's studies, and history in art.  After I finish my Bachelor's degree, I want to go to Mexico or Japan or Germany and teach English for a year or two and then come back and do my Master's degree, hopefully in Canadian Literature.  I'm taking this class because it looked interesting and I wanted to broaden my knowledge of English Literature.  Hopefully that little blurb about myself was useful :)
