required foreign language!

ok is it just me, or is taking 3 years of foreign language a ridiculous requirement (for creative writing majors at least) to give out, if we already did foreign languages in high school for 3 years! gahhh

Well, if you go to Europe, particularly France, and only know English, then you're screwed

Besides, people in Spain speak Spanish, not just Mexicans, dur

I'm thinking about continuing spanish and learning japanese
