New Developments

So, there are a bunch of new developments in my life- that I thought I would share with the BLOG community.

1. Major Change
I originally came to Regent to pursue an English degree. I wasn't REALLY sure it's what I wanted to do long term. I mean - I've always heard the jokes "What do you do with an English Degree?" and thought, along the same lines. I have two professional goals in my life. The first is to be an instructional designer. I currently work as a training specialist for a bank, and would like to get into developing the materials, instead of just delivering them. My second goal is to teach college- I would love to teach writing, but I'm flexible on the subject. So after doing some research, I found out that my bachelor's doesn't have to be in anything specific to teach in college (the masters degree is what matters) and most of the people in the instructional design team have degrees in Communications. So, my decision. And as an added bonus, my bank will pay for my degree if I am pursuing communications... and NOT if I am pursuing English.

2. Un-Retired
I used to lead praise and worship at my old church, but considered myself retired when I came to a new church 2 years ago. Well, ALL of the praise and worship leaders were out of town this week, so I came out of retirement to lead worship. It was WONDERFUL! We didn't have any of the regular musicians. But because God's hand was on us, due to being out of our element, it was the best time ever.
So, my friend Michele and Pastor Carl told me that I should be un-retired, and perhaps write a book about (I'm probably not going that far).

Well, I have no other developments. Just wanted to keep in touch with you...
