Nostalgic About Spanish Influences

I got the song "La Bamba" and now that I'm older and have it to myself as a single, I think of taking Spanish class in my 2nd year of high school.  I actually had Spanish in 3rd and 6th grade, so I had 4 years at 3 different schools.  I know more about the culture.  I signed up for French and was gonna be Secretary.  I should have thought to stay in the French club.
