Hi, my name is Derek Rawlings, and I've got a Live Journal. I'm a 4th year English Major at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
I consider myself a relatively clever bloke who has aspirations to teach the English language eventually at the post-secondary level. Right now in order to earn my way through my post-secondary I'm working as a freelance blackjack dealer, a job that sends you through the highs and lows of human emotion; all things considered it's a very manic job. In other news, I'm a single guy, mid-twenties, who's interests are listed below. Most of my social time is taken up by watching movies, drinking tea or game playing, with the occasional break to go see a play or sleep (sleep is good).
