Introduction
Hi, my name is Alannah. I am currently finishing up my fourth year at the University of Guelph. I am studying criminal justice and public policy. When I have completed my undergrad in the fall I am going to take some time off to figure out what is next. It is a very daunting question but I do not want to rush into anything that I don’t really want to do.

I decided to take this computer course as I had taken one before and found it to be very helpful. I spend most days on the computer and I think the knowledge I gain from this course can only help.

Personal Life
I was born in Scarborough, Ontario at Women’s College hospital. Many of my friends thought that Women’s College was a college and I was born in her dorm room which is awesome. I have moved quite a few times but it has always been within the Durham region. I currently reside in Whitby, Ontario. I live with my three younger brothers and my parents. My family is very close and I enjoy spending time with my brothers (seen with me in my picture).

I am spending my summer working in Guelph, Ontario at a restaurant downtown. It is a fine dining restaurant and I have been working there since January 2010. I have gained valuable knowledge (this includes wine and wine pairings) as well as tried many foods I would never have on my own (including frogs legs, escargot and duck).

Education and Academic Career
I have gone to quite a few schools because I have moved around a bit. I have attended:


 * St. Bernadette’s Catholic School (JK-1/5-8)


 * St. Marguerite Bougeois Catholic School (2-4)


 * St James Catholic School (4)


 * Archbishop Denis O’Connor High School (9-12)

I applied to 6 universities and was accepted to all of them but ultimately landed on Guelph as my cousin had just graduated with a microbiology degree from Guelph. He had nothing but good things to say about the University. I have considered doing a Masters in Criminal Justice at Guelph, or writing the LSATs and applying to Osgoode Hall or Queens Law program.

Hobbies
In my spare time-which is quite often- I enjoy:


 * Sleeping (I can sleep for copious amounts of hours)


 * Listening to music (really loud in ear buds)


 * Surfing the internet (Perez Hilton anyone?)


 * Tanning


 * Exercising


 * Watching TV


 * Hanging out with friends

I recently discovered exercise classes and have partaken in:


 * 1) Zumba which involves a lot of cardio.


 * 1) BodyPump which is a barbell based class and very painful,


 * 1) RPM which is a spin class- I have yet to partake in this one but I am working my way up. I feel like if I just try and jump into it- I’ll be the girl throwing up in the middle of class crying.
