Guess it's a good thing I was a Frnech major since that's the language I'm supposed to learn. Except I already know it! I suppose I could go for Japanese next like it says...
You scored as French. You should learn... French. Maybe you'll move to France or a fomerly-French African colony. Even if you won't, you're up to the challenge. Learn French!

I'm reading "Brave New World", and I found this quote I liked. Actually it's longer than a simple quote, but I like it anyway. It's part of a conversation between Lenina and her friend Fanny:
"But it's absurd to let yourself get into a state like this. Simply absurd," she repeated "And what about? A man - *one* man."
"But he's the one I want."
"As though there weren't millions of other men in the world."
"But I don't want them."
"How can you know until you've tried?"
It goes on for a bit, then:
"Don't think of him."
"I can't help it."
"Take soma then."
"I do."
"Well, go on."
"But in the intervals I still like him. I shall always like him."
"Well, if that's the case, why don't you just go and take him. Whether he wants it or no."
"But if you knew how terribly *queer* he was!"
"All the more reason for taking a firm line."
"It's all very well to *say* that."
"Don't stand any nonsense. Act. Yes, act - at once. Do it now."
"I'd be scared," said Lenina.

It reminds me just a little bit of myself right now. Not that I'm taking soma, but yeah...
