I feel the same way. I find that there's little more interesting than the flexibility of language. I'd take classes about English composition to study the many ways of expressing my ideas and beliefs through words over a medical class any day. The open-ended nature of the English language has always captivated me far more than any class about numbers and facts ever could.

That being said, when I head off to college next year, I'll be an English major (I bet nobody saw that one coming). I'd offer to help you, though I doubt I'd be able to consistantly be available. I already edit my cousin's English papers, and I'm not too terribly great at following through all the time.

I really doubt you need as much help as you seem to think. Wouldn't it be easier to find someone at school to help you? I find editting is far more effective when the writer can sit down with the editor and discuss changes with the document in front of them.
