Make my life decisions for me, intertubes!
So, I know I'm going to keep on with my German (assuming I don't test out of the top level, which I won't). I'm conflicted about a second language though. My main options as I see them include:
1) French. Pros: Useful for general communication as well as being an EU working language (completing the trifecta) and UN working language (which German is technically not). Cons: It bores me and it sounds mushy.
2) Russian: Pros: Useful for historical and archival research if I decide to do post-Soviet research. Cons: Could be more effort than I want to put in, especially if I don't need it as a field language.
3) No second language. Pros: More time for me. Cons: No second language.
WHAT SHOULD I DO, INTERTUBES? WHAT SHOULD I DO?
