Just call me Lois Lane

I'm so very sorry, readers (for those of you who haven't totally boycotted me for lack of attention to this blog)  for not keeping up with you. However few of you that may be. I've been extremely busy since the beginning of the semester and I have a feeling it's only going to get worse as the days pass. But God is good, all the time and I have some pretty exciting news...


I changed my major! (No surprise) To Journalism! (Wait...whaa??)


Yes, it's true. I changed my major to Journalism and by the end of this week, I should be officially declared as a pre-Journalism major! I know this is kind of sudden because the last time I talked about major changes I was talking about tech writing and merchandising but to be honest, this change was kind of sudden for me, too. I kept trying to spin the English thing into something that would satisfy my need for creativity but also my future need of employment. :) I couldn't justify switching to tech simply because it was more employable than creative. I'm not one of those people that can sacrifice what it is they love to do in order to make money. If I'm not able to use my creative outlet - which is writing - in my long-term job, then I will most likely be dissatisfied. I'm not saying that God couldn't put me in a place of work sans writing where I wouldn't be happy because I love my job at Justice and I don't write a thing. I also don't discount the possibility of getting married and not having to support myself all on my onesy. But I feel that planning for whatever comes my way is the best possible course of action. 


So why journalism? 


Truthfully, I felt an irresistible urge to check out UNT's journalism program and I don't know why. But as I read about their news writing/editorial program it just screamed me. I scheduled a visit with the advising office, went, and changed the major. The program has all sorts of opportunities for media writing, online blogging, and this really cool thing called creative nonfiction. I'm super excited to start the classes in the Spring! :) You may call me Lois Lane from now on. :)


Classes are going as well as can be expected for them all being GenEd; I'm pretty bored with them all right now, to be honest. But I've committed to making all As in my classes, so I'm studying and reading every day. I'm excited to begin the classes for my major! 


BSF started last night, and that was amazing as usual. My group is going to be great, I can just sense it. :) 


I joined the adult choir at my church and that was so great. I already know quite a few people in it - including a couple girls who were in student choir with me - and everyone else was just so welcoming. Honestly, it felt like coming home. There's such a sense of community and the only reason I can give, is that God has truly blessed the ministry. I'm so thankful for my choir family. :)


That's all that's been going on as of late, other than I've been writing a lot. Thanks for reading and putting up with my inconsistent blogging. :)
