I've said it before, and I'll say it again: my biggest regret from high school is not learning Spanish (and in high school I was obsessed and snobby about bad music, had a livejournal called 'friendless' and was a terrible girlfriend to a nice boy. So this is saying a lot). Then in college, something like three quarters of the boys I had crushes on were hispanic- why didn't I learn it then?! I started taking a class in one of my last semesters, but the professor talked about religion too much, so I dropped out. I don't blame myself for that one.
I had my first community ed class last night. I think that knowing Spanish will be incredibly useful and important, especially because in the next year I'll graduate, take the bar, and become an immigration attorney. So wish me luck (or, um, 'suerte').
