I should pick a language to take so I can satisfy some of those damn core requirements. My language-taking history:

Grades 3-5: Spanish.
Grades 6-8: French.
Grades 9-10: Latin.

Since then: Naught.

Also, I am terrible with languages and deathly afraid of accents and pronunciation.

I guess I enjoyed Latin the most, because the first year it was fun and pronunciation was easy, but the second year it got really hard and I didn't really enjoy it anymore. But, strangely, I'm considering taking it as my language now. Am I utterly mad? God knows it won't help me if I decide to explore more anthropology. Would I really choose a language based on some vague, nostalgiac feelings of high school satisfaction? Or because my name is Octavia? Madness. I should take a language I might actually be able to use.

And figure this out: I don't like languages, but I love linguistics. WTF? (Can I just take a bunch of linguistics courses and have that be my language? Doubtful.)

Please advise.
