Wow Mel, you had to blow the dust off that old post didn't you? What were you doing way back there in... what January's posts?
I'm an English Major too... switched from Biology after 2 years because I found I could get good grades without killing myself by writing instead of solving complex chemistry and physics problems.
Didn't do much with it though... was a Kinko's Manager for more than a decade... though I think it has helped written and verbal communication in all aspects of life.
