I took a semester of Spanish because I went to art school, which is a way, you know, that's not a real school. And I paid a lot for it. What art school did you go to? School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Very prestigious. Yeah. And, but I remember we had to take like normal classes. We always called them normal. It's a pass fail system. So there was no grades.
