So what was it that made me choose Hispanic Studies as my career?
A) The first time I read Don Quijote.
B) A Colombian soap opera.
C) An affair with a man from Mexico.
D) Advice from my father.
E) A desire to be original.
F) Pure chance.
G) A suggestion from a professor I respected.
H) A trip to Spain.
I) A bet.
The Sister: come on, child, we all know that you know but let other people guess. 🙂

As far as I can see, you like to do the unconventional, so it could be E – a desire to be original. That is certainly one of the reasons why I chose to study Arabic and Islamic studies, so I understand such a choice. 🙂
On the other hand, you probably took your career prospects a lot more seriously than me, in which case, I suggest a more standard choice – A.

I am going to guess: I – a bet… not because I think you’d make your entire career on a bet, but because you saw it as a challenge that you decided to take up, and discovered just how much you loved it, and then voila, career. (So basically, pretty close to F…) I don’t think you’re the type of person who would’ve picked something on a whim and made it into your career if you didn’t feel passionately about it, though.

Because deep down I want to believe in temporary romance having some good come out of it, I’m going to guess an affair. 🙂 Ah, temporary romance… how long ago and far away you are. 🙂

One time you commented that you decided to major in Hispanic Studies because it sounded exotic and romantic to you. So I’m going to guess “E”: a desire to be original. 🙂

You specialize in Spain, so I’m eliminating B and C, despite Z’s response. I think you chose Hispanic studies before you had enough money to travel to Spain and would have read Don Quijote long before you chose Hispanic studies, so that eliminates A and H.
I’m left with D, E, F, G and I. My gut feeling is that it isn’t E or F. No one has picked G yet, so I’ll say G.
