If you had all expenses and tuition paid to go to university (again), what would you study and why?

Would you enhance your existing skills, or do something entirely different?

Everyone has a language that they love working in, but sometimes the problems at hand require different tools. This may mean writing code in 2 or 3 languages a day. How do you write great code in any language while staying true to the language's ideals and not trying to transform it to work as other languages?

EDIT: When working with C/Cuda, python, and perl throughout the day, I find myself being pythonic in perl, and whatnot, or not being pythonic in python after working in C/cuda. Then I have to go back in refactor. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually, I was just wondering what HN does to keep their head straight.

I realize that HN is the place for startups and living the dream. Sometimes it's not a happy dream, so I ask, "Where were you most happy?"

I'm fairly introverted, and I assume that most of HN is the same. So are you..
