SPEAKER 1: OK.
What is the most obscure class you took at college?
It doesn't have to be maths.
SPEAKER 2: Two of my favorite classes-- and they're not really off the beaten
path, but they were relative for me-- were taking Dramatic Arts 101,
which was this theater class where in every week,
you would learn something new about the theater--
a week on writing, a week on directing, lighting, acting-- everything.
So that was so much fun-- like, a survey class.
And then I also took as a senior--
so a fourth year--
Latin, introductory Latin.
And it was me and a bunch of first years--
because they were taking it as a required language requirement,
and I was just taking it for fun.
And I'd never studied Latin before.
And so, for me, it was just such fun.
I actually started to understand, ironically, English better--
SPEAKER 1: Of course, yeah.
SPEAKER 2: --all these years later because it gives you so much more
of a mental model and a context for certain rules in English that I think we
learned very--
not even formally-- informally but then made sense retrospectively.
