Hello,

My nick name is Lani. This semester, I am the senate representative for the English Majors and Minors Club! It's a position that requires a bit of work and I'm happy to do it since I am learning how to work and communicate in a productive group. Ha ha, as opposed to all those in class group projects.

As for my personal life, I'm a bit of a transplant. I was born in Bellflower, CA, lived in Long Beach 'till I was seven, moved to Montana with family and moved solo back to Long Beach at age nineteen. This accounts for some of the topics in my poetry and a bit of the pointed query of different people and locations that appears in my personal writing.

All of my future plans are coming up fairly shortly! I just applied to Humboldt State University and am waiting for their reply. If accepted (please, please, please!) I'll be making a six hundred mile migration to northern California via U-Haul (or possibly Budget)!

Any further planning is so far in the future that it might create tiny explosions between my ears. Yes, that would create extra space, but would be a bit unpleasant.

Thank you for visiting our website!

Best wishes,

Elanna

Lauren Stone

The sometimes inappropriate, occasionally on task, and consistently random president of the English Majors and Minors club. Lauren has feebly attempted to keep the club high functioning and calm this semester, a feat that only time will determine it's successfulness?

As a creative writing major Lauren found her way to the English majors and minors club by random chance last fall. Lauren was the treasure for the Spring 2009 semester mostly because she was walking down the hall and Matt McGaw saw her. As the club needed a Treasurer to complete its charter, being a good hapa student Lauren got an A in Math 45, it seemed like a natural fit.

This semester Lauren became the president, basically because she was still going to be at LBCC in the fall. Though her coronation was relatively uneventful, she is definitely not a slacker and has utilized her relationship with the Long Beach Shakespeare Company to provide free theater to club members and recently taught interested members, along with IZ our secretary, how to crochet for our philanthropic project, making hats for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in honor of Natalie Schiavone, a beloved English professor, who incidentally was also Lauren's creative writing teacher last fall.
