That is probably the one sentence that makes me uncertain about someone. Oh really? Why Japanese? Why not, say, Spanish or German or Italian or French or SOMETHING that isn't spoken basically exclusively on an island with an exclusive, insular (it means island, ha ha) culture? There are very few classes outside your major that can ever help in the real world: government, the very first writing class, and a foreign language. Taking something dippy and stupid as a foreign language means losing an entire semester's worth of credit hours and money and study time for something that takes effort to make useful.
 
I'm not denying that there are valid reasons for taking Japanese, but rather that people who take Japanese for those reasons basically don't exist. Selecting a foreign language based on anime and video games rather than actual interaction with other people is really sad, especially when there are other, more useful classes that fulfill the same requirement.
 
You can go ahead and make your mistakes, but I'm gonna wonder what it means that you picked something worthless to study for two years of your life.
