I took four years of Latin. I loved it and never regretted it. I've 
always loved words and language and etymology and Latin is the 
perfect language to study for that. And of course, now it turns out 
that it's the language of magic. Who knew? (My old Latin teacher 
never mentioned it.) I just took it to pick up girls.
