Since I was a Latin major in college, I'm always appreciative of those taking other ancient languages.
I knew someone who took an Old English class, which apparently has some similarities to Norse languages.

I'm taking Old English, too.

I'm taking Old English, too. ^_^ They're both Germanic languages from the same period, so there are a lot of similarities.

I took three years of Latin in junior high, and then switched to Spanish in high school. I really want to get back to Latin, but I was afraid to take it here as a freshman, and it's really too late for me to start the classes now--I'm a senior, and there are too many other things I need to take. I'll have to try summer courses...I really miss it!

All I got to do was take a Historical/Comparative Linguistics class. One week for each Germanic language.

I'd have LOVED to take a class in Old English. Old English r0x0rz. (although Gothic is cooler)

I used to have this weird sock obsesion... all i wanted for christmans and my birthday were novelty socks, i loved em... But it was during my middle school years and i got ridiculed immensly by a certain group of my peers, so lets just say my little obsesion didn't last that long! i still get a twinge when i see the racks of novelty socks at J.C. Penny :)
