Yeah, French and German were the default here, although I got approved for Latin just by asking, and a roommate did the same with Spanish. I ended up taking a class in Catullus for mine, so I can't really regret it, but still: I'd taken three years in high school and one as an undergrad. Not sure why I needed it for a PhD.

ETA: Although I did have the fun of translating "Nobody fucks with guide" in Sentinel fandom. Someone even embroidered it on a pillow.
