GAHHHH. AP SPANISH 4 OR AP EURO?
Euro advantages:
Awesome teacher
Cool subject matter
Opportunity to take class I got screwed out of before
Euro Disadvantages:
Lots of work & studying
Might get scheduled out of it again
Spanish Advantages:
Love the subject
Looks really good to college
Laid-back teacher = little work
Spanish Disadvantages:
Bad teacher (probably)
Will likely fail AP test

I'm Dean! Nice to meet you. Much gusto. Enchanté. I don't know any more languages... Sorry I'm a bit awkward. I'm kind of an introvert. But I like unicorns, and Tina Fey, and satire, and unicorns, and travel, and pretty pictures, and unicorns, and Batman, and Lady Gaga, and narwhals (which are sea unicorns), and nonfiction, and history, and most importantly, Pokemon. Ha! Gotcha! You thought that last one was going to be unicorns, didn't you. Well I'm not that predictable. That's right.
