Depressing: not only is it too late for me to apply as a visiting student to study Swedish at the Royal Academy of Privileged People, but even if it weren't too late, and by some miracle my application were accepted, there's no way on god's holy green earth I could ever afford to go at $3,000 a credit. This is how much college costs. Reality fucking sucks.

I was advised by the mater to see if any of the other CUNY schools offer it. They do not, not a single one. Although at CCNY you can learn Swahili and at Brooklyn College you can learn Hatian Creole. Isn't that nice.

The only language I'm remotely interested in learning isn't available to me. Financial realities limiting academic achievement.

They say they're trying to phase out the middle class. We are evolving (check it out!) into a country with Very Rich and Very Poor people and no in-between. Guess which side I'll be on?
